I classmate of my 4 YO DD is is not interested in his peer group, always preferring older kids and adults. Does this mean he is socially immature, since he can't relate to his age group? TIA [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I would say possibly the opposite, that he might be more socially mature than his peer group. [ Reply | More ]

op: really? He seems timid or uninterested in playing w/kids his age. Won't really engage, share toys, etc. Likes the attention of older kids... [ Reply | More ]

I was that child, as an only with older parents, raised around many adults. I always placed at the top of my class but usually made friends with older children, which I assume meant I was socially mature. I was also friends with younger children in a "nurturer" or "teacher" sort of way. [ Reply | More ]
