Playdates with Social Anxiety?

As the title asks, as a mom, how do you interact with other parents/set up playdates when you have severe social anixety?My son has had some social problems at school and his teachers and I have come to an agreement that he's likely frustrated because he doesn't know how to interact with other kids. He didn't go to preschool (he went to college with me,) he doesn't have siblings, doesn't have cousins, while he does have playdates they're only once every couple of months when me and my mom friend can link our schedules. He's very sweet and likes everybody, he's just awkwardly picking up on what other children do and trying to mimic it in ways that are disruptive.I'm kind of realizing my son is seven with no real friends because interacting with other parents makes me anxious.His teachers feel like if he had more playdates with students he likes in his class that some of these behaviors would sort themselves out and they gave me a list of kids he works well with and their parent's names...I just don't know if I can do it. They asked if I wanted them to connect us and out of embarrassment I said no.Do any other parents on here have social anxiety? If so, how do you make playdates work for your children? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2oT7Npp
