Looking for reassurance, really, as we're rural and there aren't many childcare options.
DS 2.5 is in between ages at nursery for friendship groups. He loves the older ones, but they're becoming less tolerant of him and aren't playing with him any more. There's one girl about the same age, but they're really very uninterested in each other. Another girl who's younger, then a few babies.
He had some beloved friends - boisterous boys like him - who moved away and he missed them.
I feel so sad for him that he's so sociable and yet he can't really play with anyone there. He's started not wanting to go in and I can't blame him.
Any words of wisdom?
