for many! Segregating kids by something inconsequential, like age is silly. My son never fit in with his age group and could never figure out why they were so immature.... He was home schooled and learned from all different ages. We found all sorts of classes and situations in our community for him to learn and very few ever said a word about his age, although he was small and clearly younger than most. Age doesn't matter when you want to learn something. Why restrict learning? He was appropriate and could handle the classes, so why would anyone object?

When he was in school and skipped a couple of grades we did have to explain a few things earlier than we might have, but he had no trouble understanding and making allowances for odd behavior from others.

Do not close your mind to the possibilities. We've all been far too programmed to simply do as we're told, instead of stepping outside our comfort zones and learning all we can.
