DS is an August baby, and not especially mature for his age at that.
He is complaining that 'no one likes him', though when we name a few names of friends, he accepts they do like him. We think he tends to b not good at compromising, eg demanding things are done 'his way'. Also he still can be quite loud and repetitive, ie if people don't respond to him he shouts the same thing at them again 4 or 5 times, which we have told him is behaviour we don't like at home.
I think concrete examples might help to explain to him how to be a better friend, so I am wondering if there are any good ways to explain to a not-very-mature 7yo, or any books people might recommend to help him.
He is doing OK for friends at the moment, with a few noisy, lively, not-liking-football boys are still friends with him, but we do worry that they might mature ahead of him and leave him behind.
