[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP that introverts need time to recharge. Keeping him active in extracurricular, family, or community events is a good idea. However, unless this is a small private school, there's no way to know what a 9th grader is doing at lunch. Even if he sits at a lunch table with other kids, there's no way to know if he's actually interacting. Making friends does take time, especially as kids get older. I would try to get involved with the school by volunteering and trying to get to know the other parents/students. Every once in a while, I would try to help him to re-connect with former classmates and encourage him to reach out to a specific kid at his current to hang out, go bowling, go for pizza. He needs to go at his own pace. [/quote]
