I have a 4 year old boy who started school September 2020. He's settled in very well initially and returned to school easily after the recent homeschooling. He's doing well with his school work, is quite bright and keen to learn.
Socially though he seems to be struggling. He is terribly shy/quiet and although other children wave and say hello on the way to school it takes encouragement for him to return the gesture.
He behaves well in school and the teacher has informed us he is the quietest in class but has no concerns about him.
We always ask about his day and who he plays with (trying not to interrogate) but he doesn't tell us much and what he does say worries us. Tonight he told me no one wants to play with him apart from X but he doesn't mind playing by himself. He says he tries to join in but they won't tell him what they're playing and i think he might follow other kids about trying to play.
I don't know what to do to try to help him out in this situation, especially as it's tricky to arrange play dates at the moment! Do I need to intervene or let him crack on?
I should mention I have raised my concern with his teacher.
