Hi My son has friends in school and has always been popular but now i think that is chnaging. He saw his best friend over the holidays but my son kept on saying mean things to his friend eg" you arent my best friend x is " , and he was criticising his friend in front of him and behind his back , boasting to his friend etc. I was quite ashamed . I explained to him that you must care about your friends feelings otherwise people will not want to be your friend. We met up with some other boys over the summer and some he gets on fine with but others he just falls out with all the time. He is very confident in lots of ways but also very sensitive. h e also doesnt like football and lots of his frinds do so he wont play with them at lunchtime . I am worried that he wont have anybody if he is always criticiing his frinds . do you think i ma over reacting?

No, I am going through something similar. My DS who is 7 in the next month is the same. He gets really bossy with other children. He doesn't have a best friend at school and plays with girls most of the time.

I am wondering about his social skills but am presuming (after having spoken to other mums) that it will work itself out.

yes girls seem to like him a lot too. i am thinking of buying him a book from amazon on how to be a good friend .
