[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't force my kids to play with kids they don't like. They spend enough time being forced to do things they don't want to, both at home and at school. Playing is for having fun.[/quote]

Really?  Really?

Yes, really. That doesn't mean I won't explain, "hey, that kid has a medical problem and you have to be extra gentle with him. i think he wants to play, so if you see an opportunity to put him in the game, go for it." But I won't force my kid to play with every single tom, dick and harry who wanders by. Just like I won't give the teenagers who don't include my 6 and 8 yr old girls in their ball games in the street a hard time because they're too young.[/quote]

Wow and we wonder why the world is going to he'll. OP my daughter had a child in her preschool that was autistic and she understood that child was different and we discussed how to be a good friend. What I see now is that my child who is now 8 is known for being kind to everyone and I think you teach your kids to be kind at an early age and also teach them that we all come in different packages and nothing is better than the other. If the toughest thing in your child's life is learning how to play with a child who needs a friend..consider yourself lucky.[/quote]
