My ds (6) has been diagnosed with anxiety and depression after a sustained and nasty bullying case.
Due to the bullying he has had to make new friends.
He is lonely and desperate to form these new friendships, however, when I invite a friend round to play he is uncooperative and unpleasant.
He won't compromise and do what they would like to do, he is not respectful of their feelings, he is not even kind to them sometimes.
This is not the little boy he was before this bullying began but I am forced to work with the little boy I now have.
Why is he doing this? How can I help him?
We are being fast tracked by the community paediatrician towards some help from clinical psychology but this is taking a very long time.
I have no idea how to help him perform better when he is in social situations and to help him make new friends.
