I'm wondering if anyone out there has had a similar problem and how they tackled it. We moved DS to a new all-boy private school in September since he was not getting on at old mixed state school, mainly because he is very easily distracted and large class size meant that he could get away without getting much done which kept being commented on by his teachers but was never dealt with. He was involved in choosing his new school and was very keen to go. He fitted in very well at first, but now, in his second term, says that the other boys won't let him join in with their games at playtime and he is often alone. He is very upset about it and says he doesn't know why it is. I suspect that it is because, at his old school, he was very much an "alpha male" whereas now he is a small minnow - not helped by the fact that he can be quite very opinionated and bossy at times. I have had a quiet word with him about this and invited boys he likes over to play, which has always been a success, but although he is invited to all the parties he hasn't had any "play" invites. I fully expected it to take a year for him to settle down properly but things seem to be getting worse rather than better. Don't know what to do now and worried about a very upset little boy who doesn't want to go to school anymore...Any ideas?
