Not sure if this is the right section but I have a personal question I'm hoping with everyone's experience you will be able to help.
My DS 8yrs old just started yr4 his best friend moved sch at the end of last term, he is now by all means friendless :-(
He is not a footballer at all like the 6 other boys in his class. he has one other close friend a girl and has similar interests with most of the girls more so.. I am not adverse to mix sex friendships but worry its not cool for him or for that matter the girls and therefore no strong friendships are made.
He spends most play times by himself :-( which really worrys me ... Even the new boy he was paired off with this morning left him to go and play with the other boys :-(
This is not a new thing has been the same since he started sch most lunchtimes he spends by himself :-(
He has gr8 circle of friends outside of sch with neighbours n out of sch clubs etc.
I not think there is any bullying although this is why his last two friends ended up leaving:-( feel daft going to teachers but what can I do from home ???
He is a really sociable boy always makes new friends at the park etc, plays lovely with CM children but much rather a book or lego to football or computer games.
He pervious teachers say he is 'a lovely boy' 'well behaved etc etc and 'works' with everyone in class.
Actually just remember he is the only boy on his new table!
Finally when I ask him if he was ok at playtime he say 'yer' but not with much conviction :-(
Any advice would be much appreciated or pls tell me to stop worrying
Thanks in advance xT
