[quote=Anonymous]OP here- He is already in full time daycare with preschool curriculum 5 days a week, supplemented with MCPS speech therapies plus private speech therapies out of pocket. I understand that it takes time to get progress in his speech & communication skills, but I want to do something to give him extra help in boosting his social skills.

He seems to have no problem follow instructions & play with other kids under instructor/teacher guidance. However, if it is random free playtime at daycare, he just wanders around from one activity to another activity, watch other kids to play or play toys around them, random hyperactive by himself, but with minimal communication/interaction with others. A lot of time, they let him play next to them, but not really include him to play. Then, he happily self-invites himself to join them, and I see some kids walk away/frowns on his interruption. He is better with older kids because older kids tell him how to play/what to do, and sometimes include him to play with them.

He is so self-confident in himself and I have no ideas where it comes from. And, he does not mind at all when sometimes, no one, want to play with him. He is not shy at all, and he will go to kids in public to hand them a toy to share/ask them to play with him with a huge smiley face, but a lot of time, they walk away & find him a weirdo. I think kids these days are taught to be cautious about strangers, and that thought never comes across him mind (and I never teach him not to talk to stranger (kids or adults). I rarely see him cry at all, overall just a happy boy. Anyways to boost up his social skills for that age?[/quote]
