Would they say hello back if they didn't know them?
DS is 7, av for his age, occasionally confused for a girl given his lovely hair.
He always says hello to any kids that walk past or on the bus, he's not always great at eye contact but it's clear he's talking to them. So many of them just look right through him and I then end up saying l, when he goes to try again to not, perhaps they're shy etc. But he always looks so sad. He'll also shout out and tell people he really likes their top or hat if it's a cool one. Again, mostly ignored or looked through.
AIBU to let him say hi and say I like your top etc? We've had the stranger conversation but he loves nothing more than a chatty person on the bus 🙄and I've not yet learnt a way to shit him up
Do you inwardly judge us if its your child he says hello to? Do you teach me your kids no talking to strangers inc's kids to their own age?
Tb clear, he Def looks 7, av height, slim, longish hair so there's no way he looks intimidating or threatening or aggressive.
