School playground

miffy

Not sure if I am in the right place! but are there other parents out there whose heart breaks knowing that their son standing in the school playground alone watching the other children playing. With the insight that they are different and have no friends but dont want to be different and want to have friends.

My son tells his sister and teacher how he feels and their hearts ache for him too, arrrrrgh

  • This is always one of my biggest concerns, my son has just turned 5 and at the moment he seems to have some real friends who do seem to understand and care even at 5.

    It is always in the back of my mind how long will they bother with him as his sppech is delayed.

    When I have spoken to the school about this they have reassured me that it is part of all the teachers duties to ensure that they interact with others and are encouraged to play with others.  This is fine to a point but you can't force children together.

    Just reminds me of what a cruel and hard a place the playground can be at times.  I just continue to monitor the situation as I would be so upset if I felt my son had no one to play with.

    Believe me this is a hard one.
