If he's having a hard time making friends at school maybe it would help to have him get involved in extracurricular activities, like clubs or organized sports teams. Do you go to church? That can be a good place to make friends. Is there a park nearby? Are there any children in your neighborhood? Does he have any friends now outside of school? He's not too old to set up playdates for him with kids you meet at the library or kids stores or museums. While looking for other ways to find friends for him, it might be helpful to find out why the bullying is happening at school. Have you discussed it with his teacher? You should be able to talk to his teacher one on one about this without having to wait until conference time and it might help shed light on the situation.

My daughter is 9 yrs old. She is super sweet and loving. She is very mature for her age. But she likes boy things like.. Pokemon and Transformers. She is also very tall actually 5 & has dylslexia...Her classmates tried to bully her... She actually would rather hang with boys than the girls. I try to have her be the nice girl in the class. When ever there is a new kid in class the teachers always have them sit with her because she will make them feel comfortable.

Help him build his self esteem- Its hard I know. But ask him to express what he feels and I agree with Mel- get him involved and talk to the teacher. Get him a pen pal. snail mail or email. if your interested, I can have both my girls do it-- I think it would be fun..

HI the previous advice has been good - but what has the teacher or school said? Does the school have a friendship group maybe with the school counselor. This is a group where the kids can talk about what to do in different social situations and how to make and keep friends.

I always worry about this with my son, so I understand. First make absolutely sure that he has no friends. I've watched my son on the playground without him knowing. Also to remember that seven is still very young. They are still really focused on their family at this point. If things don't improve, call the school and let them know your concerns especially if there is any bullying. Also too you are probably going to have to do a lot of play dates. Seven is still young enough where sometimes it's just a matter of connecting outside of a big group. Also, I've noticed that the boys who seem to be really good buddies actually have friends whose parents are good friends. You, yourself, may need to get a little bit chummy with some of the other boys moms. If they like you, they'll be more apt to have your son around to play. Hope this helps.

Listen-take my advice on this: Find another boy who has a bit more outgoing personality-but is kind, and invite him over. My son is a bit quirky and I invite kids over. It makes him feel so good-and then the kids are nice and friendly in class because we had such a fun time doing crafts and stuff at our house!

It pains me to hear this, I can relate.

Bullying is quite often an issue at school. My kids are already 9 and 13 and the elder one, Pete, is constantly suffering bullying because of the girl he likes. It's an age of a psychological turmoil in the brain of a teenager and who knows how it can affect him... I saw one of his classmates and he told me gruesome things about the guys (older) who constantly meet him after classes and are trying to mock him and his girlfriend. As many as 38% of parents know about such an issue and only 8% are able to change the situation at school - source https://writemyessay.pro/write-my-college-essay/ school vs college: how parents behave.
