Ds(15) is shy. He knows a lot and wants to talk about stuff. But he is very cautious. His social life for the last year has consisted of football kick around with 3 other boys. Soon he can rejoin his football club. It could be worse!
He says he wishes he could talk about the world and his ideas with his friends like he can with me, his dad and brother.
I have read science of making friends which is a good start and helps confirm those unwritten rules www.booktopia.com.au/the-science-of-making-friends-elizabeth-laugeson/book/9781118127216.html. But he’s ready to take conversation beyond the “safe” topics of football, annoying teachers, etc. But he fears seeming weird if he does so.
Does anyone have any book/video ideas?
