We recently moved and my 7 yr old was saying the same thing. His teacher even commented to me about him crying in class. It finally got to the point that I enrolled him in the local daycare so he could interact with kids there that go to the same school. I had never had a problem with him before, so it surprised me. Since he's been in the daycare he has made several friends and doesn't dread going to school anymore. I know daycare is not always an option, but I hope it helps ! I know it helped me. Good luck.

The lack of self assurance led to by using the separation could reason a snowball result with anger, resentment, withdrawal and the record is going on. he's possibly socially awkward, and does not experience supported by using his friends. Get him into lots of activities with different babies. additionally come across a various therapist. If a affected person does not respond to a therapist then this is a waste of time. discover yet another. Is there each and every man or woman you comprehend who could function an grownup male function variety? some form of pop parent may be a good option. on the onset of 6th grade he could be the right age for Boy Scouts. this is nice on rather some stages. supply it a shot.

I have a 7 year old son, and he went through this in kindergarten, so this pains me to hear (don't worry, it does get better with a little work). I have always told my kids "to have a friend, is to be a friend." A couple of ideas:
- Have him invite a friend over for a play date after school. It's amazing what that will do.
- At recess, have him join in playing with others (sometimes it's better to just join in rather than ask "Can I play with you?" - cuz then the kids might say no - I've seen a study on that)
- Talk to his teacher and find out if there is anything going on. She/he will probably be able to give you good feedback. Let her/him know about this. She'll probably be able to make some suggestions, or help encourage him.
- Talk to the school counselor. He MAY need some help with his social skills. At our elementary school, they work on that with kids who need it.
- At that age, kids will play with both boys & girls - so don't overlook the girls.
- Here's a link to a book that you can order on Amazon. We have it. (Read the customer reviews) http://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Friend-Friends-Keeping/dp/061337150X Some good ideas there that may help your son.
I hope that this helps. Good luck with your little guy.

Two things come to mind rather quickly and are of equal importance. Go to the school and determine if he is being bullied by another student and enroll
him in an after school activity requiring socialization with others such as 4H,
horseback riding, crafts, gymnastics, etc. something! Also, from this enrolled
activity invite a couple or few of the others to your home after a week or two.

Perhaps he is being bullied by someone in school and reluctant to attend school. He might not be able to elaborate the situation he is facing. So he just say he has no friends in school.
Check him out and see if he is facing such problem. If not enroll him in Karate or Taekwando classes to beef him up a little so he is strong enough to be independent and face the bullies at school. Do not encourage him to fight though, just to build his confidence.
He might be the next Karate Olympic Gold medalist !

Have you spoke to the teacher? Maybe have some kids from the neighborhood over to play in the yard? Maybe the teacher can come up with some names for you of some of the kids he has things in common with and you can set up a play date of some kind....
Does your son have cousins near by? Maybe seeing them more will help him with talking and sharing with the other kids??
Good luck.

Talk to his teacher and see how he is at school. There may be other issues that makes him want to stay home. He could be ok at school but no so on the bus.

Attend some after-school activities and befriend the other parents. Introduce your son to theirs and hope they get along.

Perhaps the teacher can provide some insight. You could always give her a call and see what she has to say.
