Help Your Child Make Friends
Network with the parents of your child's classmates, teammates or neighborhood children. Limit playdates to a couple of hours. When children get tired, they're more apt to bicker. Cutting playdates short is a good way to ensure that they end on a positive note. Implement a game plan for your child's playdate. Have crafts or games on hand so they don't quickly grow bored. You want children to come back again. If your child and his potential pal don't click, try not to be too disappointed. Remember, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Where one door closes, another is sure to open. Communicate with your child's teacher to find out how he gets along with other children. Find out if he is being bullied or if he is bullying others. This will help you get a clearer picture with what you're dealing.
