Will my 3yo forget how to play with other children?

[namemypuppyplz]

I know some people might scoff at this but it's something that's upsetting me. The last time DS saw another child was Monday morning. He doesn't have any siblings.
Will he forget how to play with other children properly?
Will it hinder his development to only have DH and I around?

No. And no, definitely not. You may get a bit fed up of playing Paw Patrol or whatever with him but he will be absolutely fine.

He might, but he'll get over it once they're back.

My older son went to nursery at 3y9m. His end-of-year report said "at first C found aspects of social play difficult, such as sharing and taking turns, but now his shared play is much more caring and considerate" - they're quite used to having to direct first and only children in this manner!

He might, but he will get the hang of it quickly as soon as he can go back to nursery. Try not to worry about this! It won't be a problem.

I feel so sad for him but obviously have to stay away from other families as per the current advice. DH is on vulnerable list too.

He seems fine for now, the weather is good so we've been playing outside a lot.

His usual schedule would have been 2 half days at nursery, 1 full day, 1 half day with gran, 1 half day with granny. 2 day's with me and the weekend with dh and I. So he's used to seeing a lot of different people. He would usually go swimming once a week and soft play once a week too.

He's missing his best friend and his cousins a lot. His grandparents are missing him a lot.

I know it's for the greater good but I feel really sad. We've been trying for another baby too for a year and a half and keep thinking it would be better for him if he had a sibling.

Anyway that's enough self indulgent waffle. We are very lucky to have a garden with lots of toys and woodland nearby so I need to count our blessings.

I'm a key worker so he does have a place but we need to protect DH. What use is a nursery place if his daddy is in hospital on a ventilator.
I'll be on unpaid leave and some annual leave. Dh home working.

I feel similar OP. We had a few issues with DS snatching at nursery and I'm worried he will go back in xx months worse

If it makes you feel better op I have 3 sons (out of school since Monday and they are driving me bonkers by playing and falling out ALL THE TIME.

The only one of the 3 who isn't as irritating, is my middle son who has autism and is a ninja master at spending time alone/entertaining himself.

Your play skills will be second to none after this op, whereas I am currently hiding in the kitchen from mine

@MrsBobDylan that does make me feel a bit better thank you 😂😂
Sorry, it does sound tough!
