[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At what age do boys start making friends? My son is a rising 1st grader with very little interest in his peers. He does Boy Scouts and some sports but doesn’t naturally interact with kids his own age. He is super social and talkative to adults and kids who are older. He spends most of the time at our pool with teenagers. I ask him if he wants to have playdates with any friends his age but he says no. I’m inclined to go with his roll, just curious when other boys start forming friendships. [/quote]

Early in elementary school years. It will happen. And it’s usually first, second or third grade when they really develop their own friends.  (I think some people who are responding to you are confusing “play dates “ in which parents arrange with other parents with kids building friendships. It’s not the same thing and I don’t think it’s an answer to your question. I’ve never heard of a three-year-old asking for a play date with a particular child because they are friends and making their own friends that makes me a bit skeptical regarding some of the comments you’re getting.)[/quote]
