[quote=Anonymous]Kids that age don’t really understand proper socializing yet. When they’re playing with other kids; they’re not necessarily thinking “oh I should invite billy to come play with us so he doesn’t feel left out.” Some kids are empathetic enough to do that, but most aren’t—they’re focused on themselves and their immediate needs. So try not to take it personally. And I’ve seen younger kids be the leaders over the older kids—it’s not always age, but personality (and at that age, communication skills) that lend to them being included. The adults around them should help them learn those skills. So if they are running off to play rocketship, coach your son to say “I’m here to play rocketship with you!” And remind him to include others when he IS in a game. Again, try not to take it personally, they are really so young and have so much to learn about the world. -preschool teacher [/quote]
