Slowing down Beyond with a 6yo?

[Jharp]

My 6 yo finished LHFHG this last year for kindergarten and it went very well! My question is would it be in his best interest
(and mine) to move a little slower through Beyond and even Bigger since he is on the young side. I am worried as he gets in to the later years, ei. with preparing and CTC, he may get over whelmed from the increased work load. Any thoughts or comments appreciated for this novice homeschooling momma:)
Blessings,
Jen

One easy thing to do is drop down to 4 days of week for everything but reading and math. On that 5th day, you could do a co-op, field trips, or even just errands. If you did Beyond and Bigger 4 days a week, you would gain half a year.
