how old are the kids? was there a play area where they were playing? were they being mean to your dc or were they just playing by themselves and not including him? [ Reply | More

my DS is almost 3.5 and they are all at least a year older...they were running around together playing and he was trying a little but they kept running away when he got there, once they slammed the door when he tried to get in the room. I dont think they were trying to be mean, just not interested in playing with a younger kid [ Reply | More

Teach him confidence in other ways. I once taught a 3 year old who was extremely shy and cried at school, until she knew how to read. From that moment on, she was popular in school, confident because the other kids didn't know how to read and were drawn to her because they wanted her to read for them. Check out Reading In Preschool, a tutoring service in NYC. Or think of other ways to teach him confidence, so that he doesn't get affected negatively by situations like that. [ Reply | More
