[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about being direct? Let him know that at this age kids split off into groups and it can take a while to settle into your own group. [/quote] We've told him that, but his obsessiveness takes him right back to the same place. Don't mean to be dismissive as I appreciate the suggestions.[/quote] Even if that's the case, if he's not being invited to parties, you don't really need to explain to him why. If he's assuming people are his friends, does he try to hang with them or invite them places? If he does and he gets rejected, you don't need to explain why. He may be naive or unwilling to accept that these kids aren't his friends. Focus on what he likes--can he be involved in sports or clubs that he has an interest in?[/quote]
