Our son (7) plays Output daily with our neighbours children. They all know the boundaries, they play well together and there never been any problems. A few days ago 4 goes (7-9 ages) joined in with them and it was nothing but problems. They kept knocking on my door saying ds had done x,y and z. In the end hubby went out and found him crying his eyes out at the top of the road, cowering crouched down. He said they had been pulling his clothes and had a big fresh bruise on his shin. The girls accused him of threatening their family and their dog (he loves their little dogs) These girls are on our street twice a week and play with the kids that he gets on with. Difficult situation. I don't want to tell him he can't play with them because his other friends play with them. Impossibleto keep them apart when all outside together. They are in the same school. Why don't they like our son? I would love it if they could all get along.

Could one of you maybe go out and 'oversee' their play for a while to ascertain what's happening? It sounds like an adjustment in the dynamic which is working against your son, but perhaps the presence of an adult who will ensure fair play will get them to settle down a bit and encourage them to treat one another nicely.
