[quote=Anonymous]For now, the real question is if he seems unhappy or lonely and also if he has things he likes to do on his own.
Activities may or may not result in friendships. I was a lonely kid (although reading, piano, art, and other things kept me busy) who also had a lot of activities, which really did provide a kind of proxy for an actual social life. Sounds like you do not belong to a church or other faith organization, if so do they have kids' activities? Do you socialize with friends who have kids? Even if not friendships per se, I always enjoyed chances to hang out with other kids, even if it was cousins or visiting people with my parents. (I also was good at conversations with adults btw). And if there are chances to hang out with younger kids in the neighborhood, that's fine too.

The thing with sports is that the activity is focused on the sport rather than on doing things together--which scouts can certainly provide. Look at school activities--hobby clubs? drama? [/quote]
