As PP mentioned, something is going on. Recess should be your DC's downtime. It should not be a source of stress. I am sorry to hear it is.

Talk to the teacher, talk to the counselor and get to the bottom of it.

BTW, how old is your child. I am picturing lower elementary.

Agreed. This seems to be more than just a recess issue.   [/quote]

Why do you think that?  OP says the kid does fine with friends--that it only seems to be a problem at recess.  I agree it should be a downtime.  I taught school.  I also know that kids don't always agree about how or what to play.  OP can talk to the teacher and get some ideas of what is going on--but to pull in the counselor at this point may be overkill.  Start with the teacher.  As a teacher, I know that if a parent came to me with this problem that I would be sure to be more vigilant in watching this child.  Or, I might know that the problem is that his friends prefer playing a game that the child does not like.  Give the teacher a chance to resolve the problem.

The counselors are there to help--but they should be the next step--not the first.
