Hi there,
I know I need to grow a massive pair , but I am terrified for my son starting school in September . Both for him and myself !!! 
I have low level social anxiety and have been to a few of the kids in his pre- school parties - where there are a number of well formed cliques already, I do try my hardest to smile and make chit chat , but the mothers are not interested and are all like stepford wives . What makes matters worse is my son is shy and it breaks my heart watching him play on his own at these parties - he is also reserved at the preschool which he attend twice a week since January . Basically I'm panicking about my social inadequacies affecting him . I'm clearly overthinking this all - he is 3 and is a summer baby and will the youngest in the year. Will we be ok ?
