[quote=Anonymous]My two boys are 5 and 6. Both of them received speech therapy when they were younger, oldest had a mild stutter and youngest had a mild articulation issue. They play well together (as well as two siblings can) and are generally quite well behaved, easygoing and polite. They seem to enjoy school and their teachers have never complained or mentioned any issues. They do piano and swim team but hate any kind of team sport or activity. I’ve also noticed that they don’t really play with other kids. We have done some outdoor play dates in our new neighborhood and they’ll wander off right back into the house, not really interested in interacting with the other kids. Even when we were in our old neighborhood pre-pandemic, they’d ride their bikes around or kick a soccer ball around for a few minutes and then head back home. I’ll notice that other kids are asking questions about friends but mine have zero interest in other kids. The only friend they do like playing with is an 8 year old and they go through Nintendo Switch games with him (my 6 year old loves Mario and Zelda). Now, I consider myself an extroverted introvert and my husband is definitely an introvert but my kids take it to a whole new level. If they could spend all weekend together just watching movies with us and playing video games and not leaving the house, that would be a dream weekend for them. Is it normal for young boys to be like this or should I be concerned? Should I be forcing them to interact more once the pandemic is over?[/quote]
