Some parental advice from all the lovely parentals? Non parentals also welcome :D

[Cecelia]

I'd say that it's a good opportunity for your daughter to skip ahead. I've known students who've skipped grades (not my kids, they're smart but they're not advanced. They're still special to me though), and most of them are very happy students. The ones that aren't tend to be the ones with parents who don't think it's important for them to be kids, and push them and push them. Given that you've talked to her about it to see what she wants, and thought about how it might make her feel leaving her friends behind you sound like a great mother. Certainly not like the ones that would jump at this opportunity without thinking about it, and not even take time to talk to their kids about it.
