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

  • I had/ still do have these fears to. B is in a mainstream primary and only really has 2 friends who have known him since he was a toddler and accept him for the way he is, they don't know B as any different.

    Have since found out that the school have a buddy system. Its a voluntary system in which the older Yr 6 children wear high vis jackets and are there to aid children who don't have someone to play with / feels lonely / unsure. They also have a friend stop, in which children can stand next to and wait for a buddy to come to them.

     It's helped B and he's known and loved by all the yr 6 kids. They have even got him joining in a game of football! But then they also know when he needs breathing room and take him to a TA. ( just wish his peers could be more understanding *sigh*)

    Its a brilliant system and it works in our local school.
