Rather than telling him he needs to change, I would work with the school on trying to get him hooked up with other boys who are also quieter or less confident so that they can hang out at recess.

I agree I don't think he should have to change but faking it until he is confident seems like a short term idea. Just trying to muddle through the day.
You know?

Is being exclusive (not letting my kid take the test so he can be in the club) something a school could really control? Seems like elementary school through the ages. 'Cept for private schools that foster friendship & community.

I learned it has been going on for just 2 days but he already dreads school.

Just a bummer the school is so small. 40 kids per grade. Figure half boys. They've known each other for ages and probably are sadly pigeon held for the remainder of 3 years before middle school. Now even the "nice, quiet, shy kids" have shut him out. He did what I said and jumped in their game of tag and they told him "what are you doing???"  Kids can be A-holes.

I will talk to guidance counselor about the situation. I should take him to a therapist. Long over due.
