| Hi Melissa , You should have kids over that he would play with. The more social activities the better. My son is 8. I play cars with him all the time, the way he wants me to . My son use to be withdrawn and wanted nothing to do with other kids . ↑ |
| I do try to play, that's the problem. He doesn't want me to play, because he wants to have all the cars. He holds them in his hands. So I just sit there & watch- that's all I can do. ↑ |
| Hi Melissa, I think you should try to set up playdates. you shoudn't wait until he asked to play with friends, because most likely he won't. At the beginning, he will ignore all those kids so you have to make an effort to get him involves here and there. With consistancy, he may start to interact a little with other kids on his own. I also noted that you stated he does not play with his cars correctly. Perhaps you get a different car, aside from hotwheel, and sit with him to play. Play it the right way and gently try to get his attention to watch. Again, this takes patiences, consistency, and a long time. Hopefully, once in awhile he'll look over at you while you are sitting beside him watching you how to play tge cars correctly and eventually he'll learn to play it correctly. Sitting beside him and watching him play is great, and perhaps once in awhile, stick your hands in there and play with him. My son loves "sound effects" so I make lots of sound effect as I played cars with him. After awhile, he may learn to play with you. All these skills are taught so sitting waithing for certain skills to come might not come. ;-) ↑ |
