Hi
I am aware that most children play out these days with local children and I have become a little concerned for my only 8 year old ds who doesn,t do this.
Last year he did start to play out a little and had a small group of freinds developing but things just went horribly worng for him when a couple of other children started coming onto the scene and there was a certain amount of bullying going on.
Other friendships didn,t work for him due to certain cliques and arguments which just became a pain.
Although my ds does have the odd mate back from school, alot of the time he is on his own and I feel bad for him most of the time especially when I see those children that were his friends still playing out.
I know I probably sound really silly but I feel as though he is missing out and that it isn,t good for him to be sitting in although he is perfectly happy in himself.
I was just wondering if anyone has a ds in the same situation who doesn,t play out any more due to problems with so called friends.
It just doesn,t seem to have worked out for him with kids in the street but he has never had trouble making keeping friends at school and has always been very popular at school so I can,t really understand it.
ANybody experienced similar with their ds.
