They tend to distants themselves for a bit at school. I think its there way of dealing with it. Sometimes they dont like the way other kids play and feel safe staying out of that circle. They also look for other kids that are like them in ways. My daughter was like that too. Her friends went to her. But no matter what she is always happy with playing alone. I hope things work out for you :-)

I have my kids invite friends over for play dates. This has really helped my son. After the play date, I find out that he ate lunch with the other boy the next day and even rode on the bus with him for the field trip. I've met the friend's mom and I know that he comes from a good family. Both boys are really quiet so a group of children is awkward for them both but get them one and one, they are wonderful play mates.

Ask him why he doesn't want to be friends with those children. If he makes friends with other children outside of school, it may be an issue in the classroom. There might be a bully or he just might not be interested in the same things they are.

If he was raised without a lot of other children around he may not have had the proper socialization and may not know how to play with other children (initiate or properly respond to play requests) and says he doesn't want to play with them because he doesn't know how. Give him time and he will work it out. It's fairly common with children with stay at home parents and that is a big part of what pre-K and K are for.

I guess we need a little more information to give productive advise to you. :)

I have the same child, only its a she. She lives in her own world and has her own imaginary friends. Nothing wrong with this. We wish to produce individuals not mass products! I'm very happy with her being like this because she has a strong personality and I would need this during her teen year to see the difference between false and true friendship. Don't worry Laura. You've been blessed!
