I think you're right Lulu - he is trying to make friends but he has no clue how to. He's a bit shy so maybe I should be looking on the bright side which is that at least he's trying lol.
He goes to cc once a week but he spends as much time as he can with Yasin not with the other children. He's with Yasin pretty much everywhere we go and he usually plays with him when we're visiting not other children.
... maybe it's possible his shyness is frustrating him, ... yeh, i agree have him amongst lots of other ' new 'children & hopefully he will find his way xox
I would say for sure (as you can be over the net) that it's that he doesn't know how to. Once we were at the shops and ds did the growl/death stare to another child. His mum just smiled and said "ooh we did growling too", so I felt better about it.
Once DS met another boy on the train that must have had the same problem because they growled, pulled faces, then punched each other sorta-kinda friendly-like, then grinned, launched at each other and rolled about the crowded train floor most of the way home. They did settle at some stage and were pleased as punch (he he) to find a friend. I think that was the first friend he made on his own.
Now he is at Kinder had some CC experience he approaches kids differently. I did lead the way with "would you like to play etc", but Kinder really consolidated it.
PMSL Lulu, you remined me of dinner a couple of weeks ago. We went with friends who have a daughter about Imran's age. They sat opposite each other and pulled terrible faces for the entire meal.
Milo is very similar, and hes nearly four.
He seems to make friends ok, but it takes a while, hes not one to go to the park and play with other kids, though he will talk 'at' them or yell things.
