Although my 4th grade son is generally happy, he no longer has friends since most boys play sports and he has no interest in sports, although he is active. He just isn’t competitive at all and since he doesn’t practice (nor has desire to practice or play in a league), he is separating further and further away from his former friends who play sports.OTOH there are kids who play video games and watch YouTube all day while we limit what he can play/watch and so he says he doesn’t have anything in common with them either. Personally I feel like these kids are being brought up somewhat poorly judging by my observations compared to many of the sports kids but at this stage I’d be happy if he found almost anyone to befriend.I thought there would be a few other boys who would be similar to him as well but it doesn’t really seem so. His older sister said once he gets to middle school there will be others like him since it’s much bigger.What can I do to help him out? I know he would like a real friend or two rather than simple acquaintances. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2hFPL6y
