My ds is 5 and is close friends with one of the girls at his school. They have been close since reception and now in Year 1. However, this is the second time ds has come from school and said that he has no one to sit with at lunchtime and eat his packed lunch. Also, at playtime his friend is going off to play with others and leaving him out. He came home today and said to me 'this was the saddest day ever' and was visibly upset about it.
I feel so :( for him and know how fickle some girls can be when it comes to friendship. I have encouraged him to play with others, but he said they tell him they are too busy with their own games.
I'm just looking for how to advise him with making other friendships. I feel he has made it difficult by keeping so close to one person and really want him to widen his social circle.
