[quote=Anonymous]My son is 9 and has a very good friend who is a year younger. They've been friends for a long time and get along well. However, I have noticed that when we run into DS's other friends (either his age or older) in public, DS's friend always winds up being left out. I don't think it is intentional exclusion, but DS is definitely not being as considerate as I would like him to be. His other friends are a little bit more rough and sporty (I would say DS is in the middle) and he doesn't adjust the play to accommodate his friend (who dislikes roughhousing and many sports), and who eventually drops out of the game activity, while DS keeps playing with the other kids. I have talked to him about being considerate, and how his friend would feel, but it has not changed the behavior. I can keep play dates one on one, but I can't prevent other kids from being at the park, pool etc., so I need DS to make some change to his behavior. Any ideas?[/quote]
