Hey guys. Not entirely sure where to go for advice on this but at this point it’s eating me up and my wife and I are at a loss.
Son’s birthday is coming up and he’s 5. First year of school and he’s having problems really making friends. He gave out some invitations and had one kid outright tell him he doesn’t want to go, and zero responses from the rest of the invites (except 1, who is busy that weekend).
We’ve sorted out padding the numbers a bit with some kids from his previous daycare, but it’s killing me to know that he’ll be devastated if no one from his class comes.
How do/did you guys approach these early year social challenges for those with very shy kids?
