[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is an introvert and she used to say “I don’t want to play with you” when other kids approached. We’ve coached her to say “I’d like to play alone right now” instead. I’m sure some kids think she’s mean, but she truly sees recess as a chance to take a break from the classroom dynamic and play alone. In early elementary school, kids are just learning how to express themselves, when to tell white lies, and how to manage relationships. I try to assume that kids who say impolite things are not mean; they’re just figuring out social dynamics. [/quote] This is fair. Throughout my life, there have been tagalong, people who I would prefer weren’t there. I’m actually polite so I’m sure I make them feel welcome. [/quote]
