Especially with such an understanding, affirming and lovely mother! <br /><br />I suppose the positive thing is that socialising is something that can be learnt. Lots of us aren't immediately comfortable in new social situations, but we've learned strategies over time that work, and that's something you can arm him with for the next party, so he's prepared. <br /><br />And I love cupotea's prediction for his future :)rhubarb crumblehttp://rhubarbcrumble.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-60160120938320439212009-09-21T15:39:14.503+01:002009-09-21T15:39:14.503+01:00My youngest son is very like that, but his key wor...My youngest son is very like that, but his key worker at nursery really helped him to come on with socialising with his peers - he now has a wee (very wee) group of pals and is totally fine. He's never going to be a social butterfly (the way his big brother is) but he's a happy wee boy. It was hard for me at first because growing up I thought popularity was *everything* (probably because I never had it). I realise now that it really isn't. <br />Try not to worry too much - Jamie will pick up on your feelings eventually and to be honest there's nothing wrong with being a bit awkward (that goes for you too!). I bet he grows up to be the cool hipster that all the girls harbour crushes on but are worried they aren't groovy enough for :Dcupoteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01272763634732399238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-22660268456363761482009-09-21T11:05:38.466+01:002009-09-21T11:05:38.466+01:00Poor Jamie:( I know what that's like, and hope...Poor Jamie:( I know what that's like, and hope it improves for himLouizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691100508790921779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-60636057212360527762009-09-21T09:42:06.439+01:002009-09-21T09:42:06.439+01:00aww bless..

H is a diffrent creature alltogether he is definitly more of a people person, but he likes to use his imagination to play games and one of the kids on the street picks on him and is a nasty little sod because H is not bothered about playing football he would rather play war, or jedi knights, or any number of things... <br /><br />if Jamie is best one on one leave it at that...he may change when he gets older or he may be like the rest of us on the fringe... which isn't always a bad thing...I don't think I could be friends with most of the mums at H's school not that I think they would give me much of a chance anyway...Aprylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196354506684745214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-71121353092541495152009-09-21T02:34:29.275+01:002009-09-21T02:34:29.275+01:00Oh, poor wee man!Oh, poor wee man!KID, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317731987862366557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-83603013344977728852009-09-20T22:16:18.964+01:002009-09-20T22:16:18.964+01:00I'm still like that...I'm still like that...Heather Leavershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330793797439133950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-87751306587213887252009-09-20T21:56:46.152+01:002009-09-20T21:56:46.152+01:00Sounds exactly like Tom.

I find being a mother gets harder and harder.

It was her best (boy) friend from nursery, she had left a few months and he still sent the invite so she didn't know anyone else and she was like Jamie, following her little friend around like a lost lamb. I felt so sorry for her but now she is at school and knows most of the kids, she is fine, playing with different ones.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12405342234396098692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-31134860442813967002009-09-20T20:32:09.700+01:002009-09-20T20:32:09.700+01:00He's actually fine one-on-one with kids becaus...He's actually fine one-on-one with kids because he <i>does</i> have the attention he wants, but in groups he struggles... His best pal has just started nursery with him this year and I've been told that J is obsessed with him and him only. Just hurts to see him on the fringes, probably because I'm used to being there myself in groups.

I don't know what to ...Oh no, oh poor Jamie :(<br /><br />I don't know what to suggest except maybe encourage him to socialise more? If you have time, maybe you could make playdates for him with other kids his age who'll be starting school with him? That way if this comes up again he at least has other friends he's familiar with?<br /><br />Don't take it too hard, Nairn and Erica are quite like that too. Nairn has actually <i>obsessively</i> been going on and on about Jamie since you guys were last here xVonniehttp://www.blottedcopybook.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
