Hi Moms w/ older kids: My 7 yo DS is very sensitive. Though well-liked he does not have one best-friend. He tends to get very interested in 1 kid who inevitably has other friends they are more interested in. How do I handle the rejection he feels? DH says hands-off he needs to feel it. I am trying to coach him socially but wonder if I am too involved? Any feedback/experience is welcome. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I'm sort of with DH, but on the other hand you don't want to be distant. Try to schedule playdates with the kid he likes and then ask neutrally how they went and why he likes the other kid. If the other kid treats him badly, ask him how he feels about that and whether he thinks that's the right thing to do. Try to get him to think about what he really wants from a friendship without directing his feelings. He is probably getting something from these relationships that isn't obvious to you.
