My DS has just started Yr 1, he seemed to have enough friends at reception and was happy enough. The school have moved a few children between classes with the move to yr 1 and he’s one of this small number in a different class than last year. The problem is 2 birthday parties have already gone by which he has not been invited to, but his mates in the other class have, so of course he’s heard and is upset at missing out.
It’s not helping that I moved schools a lot as a child and so was forever on the outside, rarely invited to parties. I expect i’m probably more upset for him remembering my own hurt feelings, and I doubt this is helping me help him. DH is shrugging it off saying their loss, he’ll make new friends. Help me give him good advice MN.
