[quote=Anonymous]I think you are missing the point OP. Your update is about activities he has, which is great, but it sounds to me that the issue is at home. He wants YOU, and if you are not available he wants play dates. I think your kid wants one on one time with your and his dad. You did not mention one single example of an activity just for you and him. Many kids needs this one on one time. He is eight, so explain nicely to him that on Sunday you will do such and such with him, and take time each day for a bit of time just with him. At his age, he should be able to understand that you can't spend every minute playing with him, but that you will spend time with him one on one, and make plans. If you think this is more than that, some out of ordinary inability to be on his own, talk to his pediatrician and take it from there. [/quote]
