[quote=Anonymous]This is my kid, sort of. My kid is not left out - but is on the periphery a lot. He is interested in the “popular” kids, but when he does join them, they are too loud and rough and he gets uncomfortable. It is crazy to me to watch the other boys like him also stay on the periphery but keep jumping back in, like this time it will be different. There are 2 other kids in Cub Scouts who clearly have this dynamic, but I can’t get my son to talk to them. I want to shout “that kid reading a book in the corner, drawing my himself, wearing a shirt from your favorite podcast, the one going to robotics camp instead of football camp - those are your people! My husband says just wait a year or two and they will sort it out themselves. For now, my son’s 3 closest friends are girls. [/quote]
