I'm glad you said she was seven, because that makes a difference.  She really wouldn't be much younger than her peers in the third grade.  If it were me, I'd move her up now.  It's easier now than later.  I know of at least four high school age girls who were moved up a year (in one case three years) while they were in early elementary school.  It worked well in all four cases.  I also know of one very socially awkward boy for whom it didn't work out so well.

We should have moved our youngest up a couple grades.  The result of not doing it is that in high school all her freshman and sophomore classes were mostly full of upperclassmen.  Now in her junior year it's as if she changed high schools in terms of finding friends and several of her classes have become independent study because she's topped out the department.  Senior year's going to be interesting.
