[QUOTE="Malika, post: 414176, member: 11227"] Something I have noticed about my little boy - and I would be very interested to know if this strikes chords with anyone here - is that he does not want to join in with group activities... He is sociable, gregarious, always approaches people with a smile and a greeting, but he seems to disdain being "an ordinary member of the crowd". Yesterday we had a carnival in the village - all the kids (and some grown-ups) dressed up in costumes and then we proceeded around the village accompanied by music. At the end, the children and teachers formed a big circle and danced in a "round". J absolutely refused to participate in this, prefering to dance in the middle of them (despite various calls for him to join the circle). And it struck me... this is exactly like gym class where he consistently refuses to sit with the others in a group when called to do so. It is as if he wants to be "different", special, I don't know... but I feel it is something that is not going to stand him in good stead. Does anyone have any light to shed on this? [/QUOTE]
