[quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, my child is younger (2nd grade) but has many of the same issues. I found that what worked well was for me to form connections with moms, and try to leverage off of that to make social connections for my son. That won't work as well with a 4th grader, though, because kids are choosing their own friends more at that age. My suggestion would be to is talk to his teacher and find out which boys in his class might be a good fit for him - others that are more quiet or just generally kind kids. Then I would try to organize a few fun things (a movie outing, bowling, trip to air & space museum, etc.) and invite those kids, one at a time (not in a group), to do things with him. For my son, play dates are just the worst, he is totally quiet and awkward, but activities with another kid outside the house go much, much better. [/quote]
