Any advice appreciated. My very precious only child is due to start school fairly soon. I’m crippled with anxiety. He’s such a bright and caring, well mannered little boy. I am so worried about him making friends. Out and about as soft play etc he always seems to get picked on and often hit by other children. He’s desperate to make friends and I think often clings to people which clouds his judgment. I’m making myself I’ll with this. I’ve spent the summer discussing right from wrong etc. He did ok at nursery although didn’t seem to have close friendships and the same in the few clubs he gets to. Has anyone else felt like this? I’m making myself ill. My rationale side knows he needs to get there and have time to settle in but other part of me cannot stop catastrophising.
