My 4 yo summer born son is struggling to find anyone he knows in the playground at break time and lunch time and is coming home quite upset about it. It's a big 4 form entry inner city school, so there are 120 reception kids running around, plus 240 year 1 & 2. He says it's just so hectic he can't find anyone he knows to play with and when he does, he asks if he can join in and sometimes they say 'no', which upsets him more! He said today was a 'walk around and watch other people play' lunch break which just breaks my heart a bit as he is normally a happy, confident and outgoing boy.
I wondered if anyone with more experience at this mothering malarky can give me any advice on things to advise him to say or do to help him find people to play with at break time? He says there are supposed to be playground buddies who wear hats but he can't find them either! Thank you.
