Biggest problem we had was growing up too fast. My daughter is young for her age and got friendly with a girl in the higher grade who had been held back -- that was a three year age difference, which was a big deal in 4th grade. You need to stay involved.

both of my children are in combined grade classrooms (one has 1-2 grades and the other is 7-8 grades). I was skeptical at first wondering if it would either be too fast for the younger grade or too slow for the higher grade but I have actually noticed it makes my kids work harder to be a grade ahead at all times. It really is great!! I was not a scared but it seems to be a good idea if you have a good school with good teachers like we do :)
