please help!!! I have noticed that my 6 year son hasn't been getting invites back to friends houses after school much recently. He's always been a bit of a challenge, you know lively and excitable as boys can be. I'm always having his friends home but this is no longer being reciprocated. I spoke to a couple of his friends' mothers about this and they have all said that he can be naughty and needs warching. I'm mortified really. You never want to be the mother of 'that child', My other children are fine. Obviously I have to talk to him about it, but then what? Advice please. Blush

Maybe invite his friends round a bit less until matters settle down. In the "talk", make sure he realises the consequence of his naughtiness.

I'm not a one for returning playdates religiously, but it sounds as if the other mothers might be taking advantage - after all, if your son was that bad they wouldn't want their children associating with him at all, would they?

Have the other mothers given any indication of how he has been naughty? Would you have treated the behaviour they are complaining about as "normal boy behaviour", or is he doing something in other people's houses that he knows to be wrong at home?

How well do the children get on with each other at your house? Are the friends chosen by your son, or children of friends of yours?

Don't assume it's all your fault. Children exercise free will, often inappropriately!
