[quote=Anonymous]I have a son in third grade who I would say mostly plays with girls and prefers to play with girls.  He does have several one-on-one boy friendships and can definitely make it work with a large group of boys.  It's interesting to watch him adapt when he needs to.  He does play team sports and gets along well with all the boys in those settings.

He also doesn't like the roughness of boys.  He's a gentle kid and I think he doesn't like how wild large groups of boys can get.  He does not like when boys are jumping all over him and rough housing.  He's also a rule follower and he has told me that the boys are constantly getting in trouble and he doesn't like that.

I had the worries you have.  But he's really been fine.  A lot of girls really seem to like him and want to be friends with him.  I don't know if he's a novelty case or what, but he has plenty of friends.  The way I look at it, good for him that he has the confidence to just play with who he wants.

I would say don't create a problem until you have one.  If he's playing with girls and he's happy, then go with it.[/quote]
