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 :D , 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!)
Blessings,
Elisabeth

Thanks again for all of the encouragement, ladies :D The past couple of days have been bliss since I have finally put this concern out of my mind and am able to completely enjoy the time I get to spend with my daughter in this program. I also wanted to respond to this statement from Becky:
Perhaps we should just trust and feel peace, but it's also a pleasure to have company along the way!!
I so agree -thank you to all of you who "raised your hand" :lol: It's best to surrender to the Lord's plan but it helps to know there are others in the same boat!

We used Beyond last year with my then 9 year old who turned 10 in Feb. ... and we were still doing Beyond until May. It has been perfect for him! You will be fine! Enjoy. It is a wonderful program...
