[quote=Anonymous]OP, I just read your son did not get out of the car and I'm really sorry. I would ask the coach to recommend a couple teammates who are friendly and influential and meet up 1:1 with those teammates ASAP. I would also try to set up meeting with other kids at that school 1:1 so that your child is more comfortable in the fall. Everyone keeps talking about what's normal and not normal and I think it is perfectly normal to be socially anxious right now. Many adults are like this too!! It's been a long and scary pandemic and your son seems like a great kid who just needs a little support to get through this. Think about the playdates you set up when your child was in kindergarten and strategize how you can make friend matches now. Think of it as exposure therapy. Little by little reintroduce him to how to meet strangers who are peers. [/quote]
