How OutDaughtered's Riley Busby Is Doing Since Skipping A Grade 

If you thought your child was advanced, would you have them skip a grade?

People need to stop parent shaming them. They are five individuals and not just quints

Why were people pissed? The child is gifted, why shouldn’t she allowed to skip a grade? It’s not like she’s only a twin and one of her siblings are gonna get left behind, there’s four other kids together. Big deal.

She is her own person and she shouldn’t be held back.

Riley is a smart girl glad how she’s is doing

Why the heck would they hold her back? It annoys me how people see multiples as matched sets. They are individual children, why would you hold one back just because the others aren't ready?

They are doing the right thing. She is an individual. They should not limit her talents and skills so that she can be better, greater. Riley 👑👑

If Riley is successful in K, please don’t think of holding her back to repeat it. She will be one bored student who may lose her enthusiasm for learning.

I hope they don't hold her back from first grade, they can't always keep the quints together and dress them alike, Riley would just end up bored repeating Kindergarden..

The quints are 5 separate children! They aren’t connected at the hip and are all such unique individuals. I understand that they are a little unit, but they don’t need to do everything the same

Those parents are just jealous that Riley is smarter than their kids

if riley is ready for 1st grade at the end of this year and they hold her back, i will lose some respect for them. LET HER THRIVE

I'm a twin and im lucky our mom treated us as individuals, not making us do the same things, ask us what we wanted to do individually, she evem let us wear different color clothes and put us on different section or class so that there wont be comparisons bet us. The Quints are five different individuals and should be treated as must. In my opinion Danielle and Adam are doing the right thing, Good Job Mom & Dad! A twin from the Philippines

Why would those parents object? Do they want them to all look and talk the same, be in the same classes forever, have the same friends, have the same job, get married on the same day, and all live in the same house?!😒

Cute how Riley looks up to Blayke so much.

She went to preschool when the clips were filmed. She now is in kindergarten while the other quints are in preschool

Riley is growing smarter every day and she has the prettiest blue eyes I've ever seen keep on learning my little one

Damn people these girls are individual human beings that has different taste, thoughts and actions. They can't keep them together forever cause they deserve to be their own person

When Riley was talking about her school, I almost cried! It was soooooooooooo ADORABLE!!!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖

If one of the girls was extremely delayed would you want them to hold the other 4 back. They were born on the same day but each girl is an individual person.

I am a teacher and I support this decision. I have seen twins with so much individuality but their parents always force them to do everything together. it actually makes them cranky and stunt their growth.

As someone who stayed behind in kindergarten, I am a firm believer in letting people grow academically at their own pace. I am now a 3.95 GPA in college so it certainly did not harm me to stay behind.

Riley really looks like her dad

Awesome parents! There are many perspectives on this issue. As a teacher, I was taught that you always expand on the subjects for the kids who need extra. “Broaden out rather. Than up” You have a beautiful family! Children are like flowers. They all bloom the same way just at different times.The wonderful thing is that you get to make your own decisions. Don’t listen to haters and shakers. Always said to my students “MYOB (mind your own business) love the show!!!

Kudos to the Busbys for understanding Riley and doing what is obviously in her best interest! It's nobody's business but theirs. BTW I ADORE this family and LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!

My son is 6 and is in 2nd grade. He went from kindergarten to second. He was acting out in class so much, and we finally realized that he was bored with the work. I had him tested, and he was able to skip ahead. He left behind his cousin who is a year older, and also his best friend since daycare. He’s the smallest and yet the smartest one in his grade. It was the best decision I could’ve made for my child.

Adam and Danielle are doing the right thing for Riley and no one has the right to shame them for their choices. Riley is very intelligent and needed to be challenged. The quints are individuals and should be treated as such. Go Riley!

When kids are smart they get bored and it can lead to them being unhappy in school. My son was so bored in kindergarten because he went in already reading. It sometimes led to him acting out because the work was to easy

Very cute. I love all, thanks for share !

Best decision for Riley as an individual as well as a quint ! X

Riley is adorable.

Way to go Riley 👏👏👏👍✌️ bless you and your family 🤗😍🇮🇳🇮🇳

I’m glad that they’re treating them like individuals. Riley needed to be more challenged, holding her back would have just held her back and gotten her to act up more (like they said)

They literally would’ve been holding her back from reaching her full potential! Good for her!

as a person who also skipped i think its such a great upportunity,Now I am older the fact I get to finish school much earlier than intended and it give so much benifits in time its a gift to be able to do it infact it depends on a mental health a smart kid intends to be a curious person so exposing them into new knowledge is a very good thing to do

She was so bright even as a baby.❤️

1:02 the older sister is so pretty

My child skipped a grade and thrived on it she’s now graduated from University and has a really good job that she’s happy in - nobody can call it unless your the child’s parent gobusbys

If shes ready shes ready and has the right personality she will expect to go up to grade 1. Keep her busy or it wont be good. I was just like her. 😂

As parents they do a fantastic job of making decisions for all of their children individually

I'm really happy for them. It was the right choice for them and Riley seems to be doing quite well because of it.

If you have your child's best interest at heart, I would. Well done Adam and Danielle!

The clips in her “new class “ is from when she went up a grade in pre-K

U guys are great

As a twin and someone who skipped a grade, I’m glad my parents set aside the fact that my brother and I were twins and let me skipped fifth grade. It wouldn’t be fair to hold me back because my brother was on level and I was advanced.

Riley still beautiful as other sisters!!! But they're an different character. 🤟🤟

It’s best for everyone anyway. Not everybody’s life is the same so if that works for them it works. Only worry I see is bonding with her sisters because being in the same school bonds people or rivalry because her intelligence is a little more announced. As long as they keep all of this in check in should be great. She deserves to get to grow at her speed and so do the others.

No one would have a problem if the kids were different ages. Kids skip grades all the time. Good for them for sticking to what they believe! And go Riley!

Their kids... they know better, what good for their kids

They shouldn’t hold her back if she’s doing well in school the child is gifted and needs a challenge. I’m sure she will do fine especially since there’s teachers there to help her too

Those kids are so beautiful! Danielle and Adam know what's best for their children. Joan H

They already question if she's bored and that's why she acts out if they allow Riley to repeat kindergarten she will be repeating material she's already learned and essentially be bored again. If she's ready to move she should.

Omg... just found out me and the quints have the same birthday. 😂

They did the right thing! My 2nd daughter took half of first grade in Kindergarten because the teacher could not keep her busy! Had to change schools and the new teacher put her back in Kindergarten work and she got bored!

Why hold her back it's obvious she's smart can you imagine how bored she be if held back one year

In the U.K. (Well for England that is but I’m not sure about all of the places) they don’t skip us ahead. But I think it’s a great way to show parents of multiples that there is always 1 who is advancing ahead. Twins can even be separated from one advancing more and it shows you have to do what’s best for your kids. Riley may graduate with her sisters or may always be a grad ahead of them, either way people shouldn’t judge, it happens 😊

Absolutely yes, my son is gifted we gave him every opportunity he had. She made the right decision....

They made the right choice for Riley and their family

Menina linda. Girl is beautiful. God bless ! 🙏🙌🌻

I knew that Riley was smart! I know this sounds terrible, but from what I have seen from her and the other quints, she is my favorite

Let Riley be Riley. Are they supposed to make them all wear glasses, cuz Hazel wears glasses. They are individuals. Get a clue people.

When I was a kid, I skipped a grade, as well. It kept my mind busy and kept me from being bored.

Absolutely let her excel! I was exactly the same. Same decisions for my parents. Thank God they did what was best. Fast forward I have a BSc. in groundwater Geology and a MSc in stable isotope Geochemisty. Do Not hold a child back. As long as they are happy and excited to learn let them. There is nothing worse than waiting for everyone else to catch up.

Riley is special kid..smart and cute ❤❤

Way to go Riley ,yea she bossy i love her🤣🤣❤

There are always people who think they know how to raise other people's children better than parents, the Busby parents always consider every decision carefully, so people need to mind their own business!!

You're suppose to challenge your child's limit, not limit their challenges.

Riley is talking really maturely for her age!

I follow your channel, watch it on TV too, I like it a lot, I just watch something, I don't know if it is for editing, but Danielle is never with Riley on her lap, or saying something affectionate as she appears with the others, whenever she talks it is in critical tone, I know that she is a differentiated child, both of intelligence and personality, but she is too beautiful and I confess that she is my favorite.

I love Riley. Watch her be a founder and CEO of an innovative startup company pne day 👩🏼‍💼

If they don’t get separated young they’re gonna be so attached the each other down the road. They still get to see each other at home. Leave them alone it’s there choice

Why are people so bothered it's the parents decision not yours

Pakistan love you. As a parents of these daughter you have done a lots of struggle. When i watch your video i correct myself where im wrong with my childrens

Riley. e Parker. são. muito lindinhas....💐🌸✨💛princesas

I was all for it! She needed a challange.

And I know all the people that got upset with Danielle because she separated the quints feel stupid now

I'm glad the busby's continue to do whatever "they feel" is right for each 'of their own' individual children and to simply IGNORE any parent shammers. The haters shld mind their own business and just take care of their Own kids-

She seems to really like feeling like a big kid

Riley is my favorite,l just love this little stinker,never hold her up in school,hay try it out and if she doesn’t excel then pull her out!

Why are people mad? I’ve skipped 2 grades and it’s amazing don’t worry about her emotional maturity, it comes with it I can *assure* you of that

Love u riley love from India...😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Riley is not only smart, she’s gorgeous! I absolutely agree for her to advance to kindergarten. You want your child to be as stimulated as possible. I’m sure it’s difficult to split her from the others but you have to think of the long run. Riley going to be an individual even though she is also a quint.

Do not ever hold back your child because of something so dumb. Her sisters won't be with each other everyday of their life. When they are home take that time to let them bond. Just don't hold back any of them unless its really needed. Worrying about her sisters being in a next class and not with her, is not that needed.

As a twin myself, I hate when people don’t see me as an individual. So I can’t even imagine if I wasn’t aloud to go my own separate path because of my other twin. She’s already being categorized just by being a quint, let her be herself and go at her own pace!

Parent shaming? They are taking care of six kids! Six! These parents are so patient and I respect everything they do considering they take care of six kids. They shouldn’t be shamed for anything

IGNORE THE HATERS...they are not perfect parents either. You are BOTH GREAT parents!!! The best advice anyone ever gave me was: Listen to ALL the advice and then go home and do what YOU think is best!!!

It's a preschool kindergarten. I also went to Bright Horizons kindergarten when I was 4. Its different than public school.

Riley for president

That clip was from an upper rotation preschool class they haven’t Ared the kindergarten one yet

I think your girls are so sweet and you should feel never sad as these girls will grow pretty and smart like princess Blayke. I am your number 1 fan by the way, always watch your show and no all about the girls, I hope you always make the write decision Daniel and Adam

As a twin, trust me this won’t effect their sibling relationships, me and my twin go to different schools and were very close sooooo this is good for Riley

I know you should not have favorites, but I see many like Hazel, but Riley is my favorite. They are all darling.

She may act up but she’s gonna be a leader just like Blayke.

I firmly believe the public is entitled to their own opinions, but there are limits and boundaries. Most of us will never have the experiences that Adam and Danielle have had and will continue to have. Therefore, critiquing is just plain wrong. I am thoroughly impressed with their hearts, morals, and choices. Of course they're not perfect, but I believe they are doing a fine job of raising all those kids, while remembering to make time for just the two of them. Regarding Danielle's health issues, I was aware of them, but to hear she has been in so much pain was a surprise! It's a self-less, loving thing parents do for their kids, putting their kids before themselves! No one can know the whole story, about what goes on behind the scenes. It's an understanding the public should take into deep consideration before posting criticism. I believe Adam and Danielle are doing a fantastic job of parenting all those kids! My hat goes off to you, and may God continue to bless you with much love, happiness and good parenting skills!

I know what it’s like to be so bored at school because I already knew everything they’re teaching. If your kid is smart enough to skip a grade you should definitely consider letting them do it.

Texas does have gifted learning classes for each grade level. If she were to stay in kindergarten, she could go on field trips and have the same experiences as her sisters, whilst still being challenged academically in gifted classes. If they move her up to 1st that means she would go to college a year early as well; definitely a lot to think about. I don’t know if holding her back academically is a good idea, but a gifted kindergarten classroom may be beneficial for her. I personally loved gifted classes. Overall, it’s their choice and their kid, who are we to judge?

Go go higher Riley 😘😘

It's so funny, how people are always harping about letting multiples be their own selves, not making them be the same. Then the Busbys make a choice to put one ahead, and, OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! A whole army comes out in anger. HOW DARE YOU LET HER BE DIFFERENT! SMH!

May God bless the angels❤

Really? At four years old they should know thier colors, numbers and letters. Being a kindergarten teacher I see just average kids. The teacher on the show is making a big deal of it so we can watch more drama on t.v.
