So today my 5 year old came home saying no one would play with him at school. He said nobody likes him. They all chose partners and nobody chose him.
I realise these are all different statements so i questioned them each. He normally hangs around with two boys today one of the boys told him to go away and stop following him ans that he didnt like him anymore..
The second boy told him at a different time today to 'go away cos your boring me' these boys are his best friends, he loves them so has been hurt by both boys comments.
The last 'nobody chose me' i figured the teacher told them to get into pairs and the two boys he hangs round with chose eachother so he was left with no1
I explained to him not to take it to heart and that they probably didnt mean their comments. And that they were probably just in funny moods or wanted to play something and he was distracting or interupring that. I used examples of times mummy had told him to go away when id been busy or when he had said it to me when he'd been busy and that it doesnt mean we dont like eachother
I told him hes great and they all like him and it will probably all be forgotten about next time he sees them. But hes said theyve had a little talk at schl and it wont be they dont like him anymore and he doesnt want to be like himself anymore?!?
What can i say or do to make him feel better? I kno fall outs like this will happen none stop at school but its the first time ive ever seen him doubt his character! And not want to be him cos being him isnt liked! Hes normally a very happy confident boy!
