[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the others that it can take a long time for boys to break in. My son joined a boys school for 9th grade and it was a full year before he had a group of friends and he's a very social kid. By 11th grade it was like he had been there for a decade. I think this is because boys become close through shared experiences. Girls actively seek connection and closeness. Boys are different. [/quote] OP here. Thanks. He is just a 6th grader so maybe that means by 8th grade it will be smooth. Oy. Interesting about how boys make connections. I always assumed it would be easier for boys, but his social skills (and maybe even the social skills of his classmates) are not creating fast friendships. [/quote]
