[quote=Anonymous]I think 6 is an age of high insecurity - "You don't love me, Mom", and "I have no friends." I wouldn't make a big deal of it. "Oh, you don't have any friends? I thought I saw you having a good time with X and Y." and leave it at that. Don't go overboard reassuring, keep it light. And if he keeps repeating it, ignore or redirect. If you indulge his tendency for insecurity (not him, but all kids this age), you just teach him that he'll get attention that way. [/quote]
