[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised that a rising third grader is aware of popularity. My rising 4th grader is certainly not, but maybe that's because my kids go to a big school - 4 classes in every grade. You need to find him activities where he can find his special group of friends. Scouts, maybe? Some sort of STEM club like Lego robotics or something if he likes that sort of thing?[/quote] If the kid wants to be cool, this is not the way to go about it. He has a group, but wants to be with the “cool” kids. Unfortunately, I most places, this will be the athletic, good looking or funny kids. It’s just the way life is, and no, it does not even out in high school. [/quote] I don't think PP was suggesting those as cool kid things, I think they were suggesting them as a way for him to find his tribe. It doesn't sound like he's the athletic, fun type, so wouldn't it be better for him to find a good group of friends with shared interests than fake it?[/quote]
