Does anyone have any suggestions for how you deal with a child who does not get invited to birthday parties very often. Unfortunately my 8 year old son does not receive many party invitations. He seems to be well liked and has friends, so I do not know why he doesn't receive the invitations. It breaks my heart becomes he always runs to get the mail everyday, hoping to get an invitation. How do I help him cope with the disappoinment[ ↓

Why don't you allow your son to have a party and invite some friends over for pizza and a movie and or video games or maybe a sleep-over? This will let the other kids know that he is interested in them. Hopefully when the next child has a party he/she will remember the good time had at your son's party and mail an invitation. Let me know how it goes. ↑

Some parents dont have parties that include friends for their kids instead they just get together with the family and have a cake,food and gifts.We do that and our sons 15.Dont take it personal unless you KNOW the kid is having a kids party and your son wasnt invited......then call the kids parent and ask WHY your son was not invited.Another idea is this............throw a (just because party) for your son and invite all of his friends. Show them all a really good time and I bet then he will get some invitations!!!! ↑

Mail out some really cool invitations for the party,it will get their attention and then they will WANT to come see how COOL the party will be and then if the party goes well,the next time the kids have a party they will remember the great time they had with your son and be like,"hey mom,I wanna invite..........) (whatever your sons name is). Try it,it just might be the key! And throw a party or 2 or 3 off and on throughout the year for your son. ↑

he is just 8 years old give him time to sort it out himself and try to get his mind off things other than getting invited to the next party ↑

Look, no offence, your son must be annoying!
Obviously he pretends he has friends at school, or you are just wanting to think that he has friends, and you're believing it.
Get him help now before he is a lonely 30 year old like myself with no friends. ↑
