My 6 year old DS has just started at a new school. He is an only child and does not have any friends outside of school as we don?t really anybody in this city and I work full-time. There is a boy in his class, ?Anthony?, that he is desperate to be friends with, but the boy obviously does not want to be friends with my DS. So this morning for example, when we got to school, my DS was looking around for Anthony then saw him and ran up to him saying, ?good morning Anthony!?. Anthony just looked at my DS, pushed my DS?s hat off his head then ran off. DS promptly ran after him. I tried to stop him, but he said ?I want to play with Anthony?. I told him that Anthony did not want to play with him, that Anthony is not being very nice and that he is making a bit of a fool of himself and he got quite cross with me.
I have tried to encourage him to make friends with other children, but he says that no-one will play with him. It breaks my heart and I don?t know what to do. Please advise me. Thanks.
