[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help me not to worry that my son will not be teased because he only plays with girls at school. He's a soft-spoken and gentle kid that doesn't really like rough play or team sports.  I feel like I'm being sexist, but I worry about how boys and girls naturally sort of separate at this age and he'll be all on his own. [/quote]

We're in the same boat.  DS is in the third grade now, and it gets a little harder because the separation between boy and girl play is even more pronounced.  The girls seem to only want to hang out with the girls, and the boys only with the boys.  Also, parties are more gender focus and boy isn't invited, sadly.[/quote]

OP here. Has your son been upset about this situation? My son, at this point, doesn't seem to care too much, but there have been some changes. Already this year he's been invited to multiple all boys parties and just seems so uncomfortable. I want to help him to feel comfortable playing with boys and girls. I just haven't figured out how yet. [/quote]

What about Boy Scouts OP?  An alternative to team sports that might get him around more boys.
