DS has joined a very large secondary school last week. He only had one or two friends in his primary school as he seems much more comfortable in small groups. However his other two friends have goes to different schools and he now has to try and make friends in his new school. I know that social development is just important as educational development in school but I don't know how to support DS to make friends. I arranged for him to walk with some other boys on the first day but he refused and we are now a the end of day 3 and he says he has not spoken to anyone since he joined.
He is very shy and struggles to talk to children his own age. I just want him to be happy and settle into his new school.
I know it is early days but any advice would be appreciated.
