[quote=Anonymous]But forcing kids to not save seats or let anyone sit in a chair isn't going to help either. Yes, the kid can know sit there but the other kids will either move or talk around the kid as if they are not even there which is worse.

BTDT and having a kid with social issues is tough and as much as parents don't want to hear it - I know at first I didn't - it's not really an issue that the school can solve. It really takes the parents involvement. Lots of kids have social issues and have poor social skills in school. Worst advice is "ignore them" because it puts the child in a passive position of just waiting for something to happen to them to ignore it. Parents have to work with their child to develop friendships at school. It does involve setting up play dates, coaching your child before and sometimes during the play date and repeating. It's teaching the child some actual social skills and working on practicing them. Lastly, just sticking a kid in other activities may not produce any results. If the goal is socialization and friend making, parents have to look for an activity that their child can do reasonably well and does not have a closed group of kids already involved ex a team that had been together for 5 years.
