[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry you are getting some rude responses here. I think the best thing you could have done is to demonstrate to your son what problem solving looks like in a social situation like this. You have said that you have social anxiety yourself. What I read in your post is that you were looking for other people to notice the problem and solve it for you. But what gives us confidence is being able to solve problems ourselves. The quickest way to solve this problem would have been to say to a seated parent, "I'm sorry, all the chairs are taken, would you mind letting my son sit here?" All this is to say that helping your son navigate the world likely will require you to work on your own social anxiety and social skills. It will help you be a better advocate for him, and help teach him to be an advocate for himself. I'll also add that it sounds like you don't like this school very much. Is there a reason to stay there?[/quote]
