Ds is an only and I have always fretted about trying to get him peer company.
The only means I have of getting him any company is thorugh school in the way of playdates.
He does do a couple of clubs but its early days with them so at the moment the children there are just children he sees when he goes.
I have tried to encourage ds to have mates from school and he has had one or two but its always me that instigates and puts the idea in his head.
Ds seems happy enough to spend time on his own and never requests a mate to come home.
He also doesn,t seem that fussed sometimes and can get quite grumpy with me when I ask if there is anyone.
So should I just leave him to it.
Should I worry that he is never fussed about having anyone.
Being an only I don,t want him to be a loner I suppose.
He seems okay at school with mates and that.
