Thank you for your reply suzie. My ds was near tears last night he said he hasn't done anything wrong and this friend is nice to everyone else except him, he also said he doesn't want to go to school anymore but went along ok today.

I just told him to play with other kids but he does seem to be too dependent on this friend, he might be a bit clingly I don't know for sure. I might get some of the other boys from school around for a play so that might help build some other friendships. I think I might also request they are in different classes next year, if it is possible so he has to make friends with other children.

I get so upset for my ds but agree it is best to stay out of it.
