I agree with Angeliz that you may not be returning to the other thread so thought I would post my response again here.

Bafreem, so sorry that your thread has taken this turn. It is hard to get a straight answer for these types of questions but I know that you are in a quandry. Dh and I argue fairly often over what to do with ds in his schooling. At 2.6 he is on a 4 year old level in most things and I do worry about it. Do I just continue on as if he's the same as all other 2 year olds? Do I try to do extra things at the 4 year old level? Is he going to have problems integrating with children his own age? (It does seem a possibility at this point, but hard to tell at this age)
I just don't know. So, I guess I haven't really answered your question. However, what I have been doing is trying to do extra things with him to keep him challenged, while at the same time letting him continue on with age-appropriate activities and utilizing whatever opportunities we have for him to interact with other children his age.

great post from nightynight which I agree with 100% (having been genius child/slack adult)

"Regarding mixing; one of my problems are that there are no other children in the vacinity. my 4 yr old does go to nursery (when we can get her there - she often doesn't want to as it's boring)"

then that is something you could work on with her? perhaps not agree with her that it is boring but encourage her to join in with age appropriate activities?
