Hello,
My son is 5 years old. He has always struggled with friendships and attached himself to very mean child when he was in nursery which caused him a lot of upset but at the same time he wouldn't play with anyone else. Then there was covid etc etc he has not experienced much social interaction with other children. Now he is in school and he is struggling... He can make friends but as long as on his terms, he cannot share and would rather sit alone than try to play someone else's game. He won't even try. He also struggles with entering play and sits on the sidelines observing. It breaks my heart and i am trying so hard to help him with all this. I would just love any helpful advice and ideas to encourage empathy and kindness to peers. TIA.
