[quote=Anonymous]I had the same issue.  Still do, though my DS is in 3rd this year.  I took that time to talk and interact with DS rather than have him try to talk to the other kids.  We talk and horse around and are just silly.  I noticed that some of the other kids started coming around when I was playing with DS directly and wanted to join in, but trying to get my attention and get me to include them in my play.   it was VERY hard for me not to be a jerk to them because they basically ignored my son even when he'd go up and try to play with the others.  They'd just ignore him and he'd eventually just walk back to where I was standing.  It was heartbreaking for me.  Only when I was coming up with fun stuff for him and me did they suddenly want to play.  Ugh.

Anyway, I might have not done the right thing because he is still very attached to me and maybe didn't learn to navigate rejection or integrating into a group of kids but at the time all I wanted to do was protect his feelings and help him have a good experience.  [/quote]
