[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you’re already doing all the things a parent can reasonably do to help out a kid in this situation. It’s his challenge to deal with, not yours. Increase your ability to remain loving but objective when your child struggles with something. Remain sympathetic and listen, and offer suggestions if he asks for help. But that’s it. Don’t internalize his discomfort with his social standing. Focus on your own life and modeling for him how healthy friendships look. The only way growth comes is through challenges. It’s his life. He’ll figure it out. [/quote]
