[quote=Anonymous]My kindergartener is in MCPS and started back to in person school in March. Each day, I ask him who he played with or what he did at recess. It sounds like he is mostly by himself at recess, digging in dirt or burying treasures. I have asked if there are any kids he would like to invite for a play date, but he can’t think of anyone. I have asked his teacher how he is doing socially, and she has no concerns and says he plays well with other kids and that the recess monitor says he is always playing with at least one other kid. I asked if he wants to have a birthday party this year, but he said he would rather have a party with his grandparents.

I can only imagine how strange it is to make friends while socially distanced and masked, but I worry about his apparent lack of friendships. My older son had lots of friends and play dates in kindergarten.

He doesn’t seem to mind or care. His best friend is his older brother, and he always plays well with my other son’s friends. This is more my problem than his, I know that, but should I be concerned that he hasn’t made any friends that he wants to have over?[/quote]
