[quote=Anonymous]This was us last year. I did the horrible thing of sneaking by at recess to see what was going on and there was my DC all alone kicking mulch. Totally broke my heart. Definitely talk with the teacher and see how class is going and what may be going on. Our teacher had no idea that was how it was and began immediately to change seats around, emphasizing small group work, etc. It really helped and friends were made. I also worked with my DC to identify one child to have for a sleepover in two weeks. We would talk about who it was, finding out their name, making sure DC got their contact information, etc. That worked but I will admit it took over the two weeks. Moving on to 4th grade was much easier. I think that third grade is also a big leap for some kids. They have to become more independent and held more accountable for their work. That coupled with social stuff can be very overwhelming. Just step in quietly and be very gentle. [/quote]
