[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need advice on to support my son as he deals with feeling excluded. My son is so sweet and painfully shy so he hasn’t connected with a lot of kids in his 7th grade class. He just realized this weekend that he’s only of a handful of kids not invited to a bar mitzvah. The few friends he has are invited. The parents of the boy having the party are very wealthy and are having a famous musician perform so it’s all the kids are going to talk about. I feel so heartbroken for my son and don’t want to try to fix this for him but want him to understand we are not always invited and it happens a to everyone at some point. Any tips that have worked to help your kids overcome this? [/quote]

Is this a private school and, in particular, a Jewish private school?

7th graders in public school will have a lot of classmates from different classes, so it's not so obvious who is being invited to an event and who isn't.  If it's a small private school, where most of the kids are taking the same classes together, different story.

Honestly, I'd just find try and find something else to do with you son that day.  No need to do something over-the-top yourself - just something to remind him that you know he's special and to take him mind off what he's missing.  [/quote]
