..does he or she say hello or ignore them or just look a bit embarrassed ?
Ds finds it quite hard to know what to do with himself in these situations - he seems to be very shy - I usually get a bit cross and ask him why he can't just say hello or at least wave or smile or something... he is a sweet and kind boy but maybe it's the seeing people out of their usual context that is odd.
Maybe he is embarrassed by being with me !!
This morning a neighbour with a yr 4 son dropped him at our house and asked if I'd walk him to school - ds was upstairs in his room and was really awkward about coming downstairs to be with this boy (who is nice and friendly) - he just seemed to find it hard to go into the sittingroom and chat or just be -he hovered outside ...I think I may have been the same myself at his age come to think of it. Anyone else's dcs like this ?
