[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so many insensitive people here today!!

When I was a child, my parents TAUGHT me to be gracious and kind!!! Why does everyone find it necessary to try to reason with, or explain complicated things to a 4 yr old when they don't have the capacity to truly understand stuff like this.

Its pretty damn simple OP.  You teach your children to be kind and gracious and include your neighbor's son whenever possible- when they are outside playing.  That is the right thing to do, that is the HUMAN thing to do.

Put your child in this boy's shoes for just one second, or put yourself in that mom's shoes for just ONE SECOND. Don't you think she already has enough on her shoulders without having to worry about whether or not her son will be accepted by the neighborhood kids? its only for 30 mins to an hour. surely your children can spare that![/quote]

Huh? This is the Op. If I didn't want to include the boy, I wouldn't have posted? I want the kids to play with him. That was the point of my post.

I simply want to encourage my son who is only 4 to be patient and understanding with someone who is different. It may seem simple to you but my child is only 4 and doesn't understand why Johnny is so different.

Thanks to those of you who posted such helpful suggestions.[/quote]

Was not referring to you OP. [/quote]
