SN with social issues not not necessarily mean poorly behaved.  I am the PP of the child in 1st grade who was not invited to any birthday parties and was told he was by some of the other kids over the year.  (Yet, everyone came to his birthday.) He did not behave poorly from a parent or a teacher perspective.  He had trouble connecting with his peer group and a dynamic developed in the social order where he was at the bottom and it was horrible.   [/quote]

I continue to be appalled by the fact that parents think it's OK to let their young children accept birthday invitations that they have no intention of reciprocating. It' s pretty simple, folks. "Johnny, that's great that you want to go to Larlo's party at the bounce house, but keep in mind that if you go to his party, you need to invite him to yours." Full stop. This not not just about teaching your children empathy (god knows that's important, thought lots of people seem to cut corners where their own convenience or squeamishness or snobbishness or bias comes into play ); it's also teaching basic life skills, aka "how to get through the world without being perceived as a total jerk."
