My son recently moved to a new school, and didn't have any friends. Then another boy started at the school, and now they hang out all day at school. My wife and I met the parents of this child, and exchanged information, thinking they could play together after school. Every time I bring up the possibility of inviting this boy over, my son objects. He is always bored - why doesn't he want his friend over to play?

It is possible this other boy is no longer a friend. Try asking your son if they had a falling out, or maybe other kids pick on him for being friends with this boy. Kids can be cruel and no one wants to not fit in with their peers. All you can do is ask your son to talk to you. You could try signing him up at the ymca or karate or something like that. I have always been shy and had a hard time making friends. But the ones I made lasted a long time.

some children like to keep there school stuff at school and there home stuff at home and dont like to mix the two, i have 4 boys and the eldest is a social butterfly and has wayyyy 2 many friends and is always having friends over to stay and going places and my 12 year old is always the opposite and i thought he didnt have friends but it seems he has lots and is very popular at school but chooses to keep them just there and no matter how much i ask he doesnt want them at home, the other thing is not knowing your situation it is hard to work out a reason but i know when we lived in another neighbourhood one of my children said they were picked on at school because we were poor and because we didnt have all the latest playstation games of course we werent poor but that was how other children saw it and my children 1 in particular thought he was missing out and that these other kids had better lives than us which i felt my children have a good life everyone thinks differently and i guess you just have to see how your child is feeling and he may just be a child like my 12 year old who just likes his own space at home, good luck being a parent certainly isnt easy with all the different personalities

Maybe he doesn't really like him and only hangs out with him at school because he has no one else. But if you want the real answer why not just talk to your son

Maybe he really does not like the kid. Sees enough of him at school. My kids would rather hang out at their friends' houses than have their friends come to our house, say they have enough of our house. I have been trying to pick okay friends for my son for years (I am the mother of this email address) and they pick who they like and work it out among themselves. Good luck. Keep interested and let your boy know you love him, thats the best I think you can do.

Sound like he only plays with him because both are new to the school and haven't made other friends yet.

Maybe he's had enough of the kid at school... you know...you enjoy your colleagues a work, but by GOD you definitely don't want to hang out w/them afterward... perhaps it's the same kind of thing...

Maybe this kid isn't his friend after all? If you want to get him "un" bored put a dust rag in his hand.

I think this is something you should be discussing with your son. Only he can tell you.
