[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, your son probably just needs empathy and an ear to hear his feelings. You don’t need to “solve” this for him or find him stem friends or whatnot. Let him vent and validate his feelings. He will find ways to develop resilience and find friends and situations that fill his bucket. [/quote] +1 It sounds like it was a rough night, which we all have from time to time. I would tone it down with the "middle schools boys suck." You said these are his buddies and that he goes to BS and enjoys it. Trying to "other" these boys, or put blame isn't helpful. It's also escalating it for your DS, even if you aren't saying it in front of him. Taking on a kid's energy I've found is never helpful, and can lead to a complex. Besides, I had two middle school boys long ago and knew many of them; all in all they were great kids. [/quote]
