We moved from London around 2 yrs back.We were renting a house for 1 year so he was in 1 school.Then we bought our house so he had to move into another school.Since all these days he could not make a single friend.He is not a shy kid.He is very outgoing.I have also put him into couple of different physical activities.Only thing is he is not very good in sports.May be thats why kids r not being friends with him.i am so confused and worried.I have an appointment with his class teacher on Tuesday.
Please help.

Hmmm...It's hard to say because i don't know him, or the kids he is trying to make friends with. if he is a not shy and outgoing boy, he seems like a kool kid, i dont know why he doesn't have any friends, maybe he is looking in the wrong places. i Honestly dont know, but good luck, i hope he makes some friends.

At some schools kids are just not accepting of new students. I'm not sure why that is. See what the teacher has to say during your meeting, she might have some ideas. And does he like the activities you put him in? If he's not good at sports he might not like them and there might be other groups or clubs you can put him in, like Cub/Boy scouts, art, etc. Put him in an activity that interests him so he'll be around other kids that share his interests, he'll be more likely to make friends with someone he has something in common with. Good Luck to him and you.

maybe he is experiencing culture shoc and language shoc. the english are so different from the americans. though he is social it is becoming difficult for him to overcome these barriers. my advice is, invite all his class mates and their moms at your house. it could be a get togather or a kiddy party. get to know his friends and their family. then he will have some friends. dont worry about the teacher. maybe he will only talk to you about your son's adjustment problems. ask the teacher for advice.i had the same problem. what i did was i introduced with all the mothers in my son's class and tried to form a group.now we go to parties of the children and my son has made some really good friends.

well ask his teacher if there is anything else that he can do . like a something like the swim team or exercises that he likes to do in his spare time . he might make some friends that way .or maybe he likes things like cars and dinosaurs.

Get him a pet like a dog. Dogs are loyal, friendly, social creatures. It will do wonders for your son. It wil give him a friend.

It doesn't sound to me like he is lonely, he's outgoing, friendly, perhaps he is just a loner. I'd just leave him alone and not stress about it, it doesn't seem to be bothering him and that is really all that matters.

Just leave him to his choice. Let him be natural.
Your worry attitude will give him extra stress.

doesn't hurt, mom, if you involve yourself in lots of community stuff, too. (that way your kid, like all others can get together with the other mom's kids and talk rot about their parents.)
You know you all did it too.
