DH thinks IABU so thought I'd see what others think!
DS (nearly 5) is in reception class. He's a bright little boy, joins in with class discussions, goes to a session on his own twice a week with YR2 children which doesn't faze him BUT he hasn't got very many friends in his class. He isn't at all bothered by the large group of boys who go on play dates after school each week, he's never been on one. He rarely gets invited to parties (which again upsets me more than it does him). He can be quite lazy sometimes, he'd rather sit and read/draw/watch TV/play on (educational) websites than run around like a 'normal' 4 year old.
So I decided to try him in an afterschool club that I knew quite a few of his class were going to be attending too. When I picked him up after his first session last week he told everyone he loved it, but then when he was on his own with me he burst into tears and said he didn't want to go again. When I asked him why he said it was because he missed me and just wanted to go home when the bell rang for end of school so he could read his book.
I told him he had to at least try it for one more week. My reasoning was that it was something new, he was unsure about trying something new and therefore after another week he might be ok. DH however thinks I shouldn't force him to go again if he doesn't want to go.
AIBU sending him in the hope he'll end up loving it and make a few new friends but knowing that, in reality, he might spend the day at school worrying about it and probably getting upset again??
