Hi, I have an eight year old boy. He is quite outgoing, but he won't play at his friends without a member of family being with him. I am concerned because his friends have been playing away from home for years. He says he is not ready. I feel under pressure because both sets of grandparents are worried, that there is no sign of this changing. How do you handle a situation like this? Should I let things continue or take the stance of setting a date for a future play at a friends house on his own. Encourage him and say that he has to start now, and not be too worried about his protests.
