My child has no friends
Does your child spend break times alone and never invite anyone home? Find out how they feel about it and help them make a friend in small steps.
What you may notice
- Your child is mostly on their own at break and after school.
- They are rarely invited to classmates' birthdays or games.
- They say, 'Nobody plays with me' or 'They don't want me.'
- They don't know how to join a game: they either hang back or try to take charge straight away.
- They spend more time with adults, younger siblings or screens than with children their own age.
