My 4yo DD (rising 5, just started reception) is pretty socially anxious. Will chat endlessly about everything to adults he knows, but seems a bit non plussed by his peers.
He LOVES his Lego - and would, if unchallenged, spend hours by himself in make believe world in his bedroom with Lego characters. I worry that this is just compounding his anxiety - and I don’t like him to be on his own so much. - he’s happy to involve me in his games if I go up - but DS2 is an 18 month old menace so it’s not feasible to do that all day.
he’s happy to run around at the park when we go, loves a book or the occasional cartoon. But it would never be his first choice.
is this a phase (we’re 18 months in to it) - or do you think I need to be firmer about him being social. He’s currently spending about 2hrs a day after school / 4 hours a day at weekends in solo Lego land…
