I don't have time to read all the posts, but I wanted to let you know that I used Beyond last year with my then 9 and 6 year olds. I really wanted my 9 year old to be ready for Bigger last year, but he just wasn't. And now that we've just started Bigger this week (at age 10 for my oldest), I know it was the right decision. It is going very well

, and there's NO WAY it would have worked last year. It just doesn't made sense to push our children ahead of what they are truly ready for!!!
Relax! (I need to follow that advice, too!)
