Hi Kelly,

When I read your post it brought back memories for me, my son was the one that stood out in the class as being in peoples faces, K, yr1 and year 2 were often sad times as I watched my son try to make friends but not getting it right, he had trouble settling himself down and seemed to be socially immature.
I would say that if the mother was at all in tune with her DD that she would be aware that there is a problem.
What I found helpful was that the teachers that taught my DS were excellent in working with me to help my DS. They kept me informed of how my DS was going and filled out a lengthy questionair that I took to a Peadetrician (sp) From this we found that my DS was a bit delayed in his social skills but it should sort itself out with time. I have noticed as has his teacher that my DS is doing really well lately and has some steady friends.
Last year I had a mum call me to let me know that she had had to ask DS to play nicely with her DD and at first I felt awkward and apologetic, but as I knew her to be a nice person I felt that her phone call was well intentioned and I appreciated the call as it gave me a chance to sit down with DS and talk about what had happened.
I hope that you are able to find a solution.
