DS5 is gentle and a bit of an old soul. He likes a laugh and to be cheeky but he's not really into rough and tumble play. I suppose he's introverted and he likes quiet activities best like drawing, colouring, Lego, board games etc.
He's not loving the playground as he finds the play generally a bit too rough. He tells me he feels more comfortable playing with girls because they are usually calmer. However I know he also views himself as a boy and wants boy mates. He does tell me he joins in with the boys but he can't run as fast as them, isn't as strong as them etc...
Has anyone else had a DS in this position when they were younger, how did things work out? First time mum and bit of a worrier. Just worried about his self esteem. Thank you
