My son has just started reception and has no interest in playing with the other kids. He will interact with the teachers but does not want to play or interact with the other chilldren. If he is not talking with the teachers he prefers to be alone.
It was the same when he was at nursery he did not want to play with anyone just interact with the teachers. There were two little girls at the nursey who wanted to play with him and tried to include him in their games but he just wasnt interested.
He plays with his 2 other siblings at home, he has cousins who he also enjoys playing with too. If we are at the park, library or other place he can make friends he will come over to me and tell me thats he has made a new friend.
His teacher is aware and trying to work on it.
I have also asked him does he have any friends at school or what his friends names are and he will say they are not his friends or he will say he doesnt want to be their friend because they are too naughty. He will find excuses to not want any friends at school. He is not like this when we are out and about or visiting family or friends.
Has anyone else been in the same or similar situation? Any feedback or response will be appreciated.
