[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 13 year old DS has always been a really nice kid, a bit quirky, but had friends. This year, although he has friends at school, he has not had a single friend over to the house. Has done a couple things outside of school with them but had no interest in having anyone over. Has this happened to anyone, any advice on how to encourage seeing friends or is this a normal part of this age for some kids? He is busy with activities and also sees other friends there. He was just so enthusiastic when younger and always wanted to have a friend over when given the chance? When I ask him he just says he is tired after school/ activities and wants the downtime to himself. I think this is reasonable but at the same time I worry a bit that something is going on that I am missing. Any thoughts or BTDT?[/quote]

Why don't you encourage him to get his young butt out of the house and explore the neighborhood?  He would probably be surprised that friends from school actually live near him.  This play date nonsense has to stop.  If he was four or five then ok but at 13?  No way in hell.[/quote]
