DS went into Year 2 of a new school in September. He's having trouble making friends but I didn't realise how bad it was until he told me today he feels very lonely at school because no one plays with him. Now I've been in tears about this (not where he can see) and I will go and see the teacher again but what realistically can she do about it?
I've spoken to her before about how DS is settling in. She says he's absolutely fine, it's like he's always been in the class and that he plays with everyone. He was getting on with one boy, who came round for tea one evening, but today DS told me that boy won't let him play with him anymore. He won't let him join in the games. There's a girl he gets on with and seems to spend quite a bit of time with (she's into superheroes apparently) He told me there's no one else in the class he plays with. We went to the school fair yesterday and he didn't hook up with any of the other children, in fact just seemed to ignore the ones who spoke to him. By the end, he looked quite lost and unhappy.
So just now, I said to him "we haven't had anyone round for tea for a while have we? Shall we put a note in someone's book bag and invite them round?" DS just said "no, I don't want to". And looked glum.
The teacher doesn't instill me with confidence to be honest, she just smiles and says DS is fine. What can I ask her to do? Should I talk to the Head instead?
Not suprisingly, this is making me feel sick with anxiety so any suggestions will be really appreciated.
