skipping grades
By Azure

After reading your post, my first thought is your daughter would be really bored in kindergarten!! I would put her in first grade knowing she may need to skip even later on.

Problems you may to consider when thinking
about skipping can include in the future:
1. Her friends will be wearing a bra before she will. This is BIG!! I know they have sports bras but her friends will have boobs and she won't.
2. Her friends will start their periods first. Later on...she won't care but at first she will.
3. Her friends will get their driver's liscense 1 year earlier. Are you ok with her driving

around with friends she grew up with?
4. Dating
5. college

I know you have a LOT of years to go yet before you even have to think about these things. This will be important to her though. Just something to think about.
I would encourage you to put her in the first grade. She will be ready for the routine of school and still do cutsie things in first grade.
