My number two still only hangs out with his brother...it is not a childhood problem but a shy issue.......have a chat with him to make sure nothing is bothering him....or if someone is picking on him...... they end up making friends....it takes time evn for adults.

your child may be an introvert(shy). Don't push him to do a lot of things with his friends. What you can do is to let him invite one friend over to his house for dinner or a sleepover. He will probably feel more comfortable with just one friend at a time. When I was in school, I was the same way. Once I spent more time with each friend by themselves, I actually started to relax and to be myself. Another problem(which was what was wrong with me, too) might be low self esteem? Help him boost his confidence by giving him some sort of verbal praise every day. Hope this helps.

It depends on why. If he's just a little shy or prefers to keep to himself but is otherwise happy, it's probably fine. If he's actually being picked on or rejected by his classmates, that's a problem. Call the school and set up a meeting with his teacher to see what she has observed. And talk to your son about school everyday asking open ended questions to encourage real conversation. Maybe he'll volunteer the answer himself.

I was very shy as a child. I outgrew it eventually. But if you are worried this is not usual behavior for you kid then start talking to the teachers.
