Just looking for some advice on how to handle this situation.My son is a great kid. He's very shy and sweet and has never given me an ounce of trouble. He gets good grades, and while very introverted, I see no signs of a lack of self-esteem or confidence issues. It's always seemed to me that's just who he is.I had a meeting with his teachers yesterday and all of them brought attention to his introversion and were really questioning me about it. I got lots of looks when I said he doesn't hang out with kids outside of school. Apparently they now rate students participation/interaction in the classroom (this class was science, the other teachers didn't tell me his rating but I'm assuming it's around the same) and he received a 2/10. He has over 100+ school friends on his instagram/snapchat accounts (I recognize many of the kids from elementary school where I volunteered) and he's always talking to someone on his phone (voice, not just text) or through his headphones as they play video games, he just doesn't have anyone over and doesn't go to their houses. Is this really that big of a deal? When I got home I asked him if he'd like to have someone over and how I could set up all of his video games in the basement on the projector and they could just hang out there undisturbed for the day but he said no. How do I get him to want to socialize outside of school or should I just drop it and let him be? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/33NMYe1
