Last dr appointment my son had i asked them what would be a good way to make him a little more social with other kids. He told me when we go out dont follow him around. Keep him in eye sight but dont hover. So yesterday we went to a bday party. They had a jumper/water slide thing that i let him go run off and play in with other kids. I watched him the whole time. I let him figure out how to get up in it by himself. He ran back to me so many times to hug me and make me go with him. I just sent him on his way after each hug. For a while everytime a child would go near him hed run back crying to me. After a bit he finally got okay with it and played alone but by the other kids. I felt so bad seeing him look uncomfortable in the situation. I did get up and go play with him after a while because i just couldnt watch it anymore. He is definitely not a social kid which i hope changes when he starts school. I don't have friends who either actually have their kids or dont smoke or drink or just wanna hangout with our kids around. So he doesn't have interaction with other kids. I called his dr and told him that solution wasnt for us and if there were any other options and his response was "guess you should rethink your parenting" and HUNG UP. Does anyone else have ideas i can get him more social on his own comfortable terms??

First- fire your pediatrician.
Second- there are ways to encourage and comfort without pushing. Start off with one on one play dates. Plan activities or crafts for them to interact. Then add more kids to the mix.
Three- Always comfort your baby when they seek it out. They should trust Mom and Dad are always there for them.

you are doing fine. As long as you are boosting his self esteem and loving and supporting him, he will be perfectly fine.
Eta ds3 was/is like this. We take him to baby gym, an indoor play place in the mall. I watch constantly but I've stopped following him around.

its weird that he isnt interacting with other kids specially if he has a sibling. Your pediatrician doesn't sound great, maybe change oedistritians and do a social assesment if you are concerned, or just wait it out and take him to the park everyday till he gets more comfortable around other kids

Just found out 2 days ago that I'm pregnant with my third. I was totally shocked! I haven't gotten my period for a while now, but last time I took 2 tests and they both came out negative. So I was really shocked when I took 2 more tests 2 days ago and they both came out positive. I already have a 16 year old daughter and my husband and I have a 5 year old daughter. My 16 year old is beyond pissed off and saying the most hurtful things she possibly can to me. My 5 year is thrilled. My husband wants a paternity test because he thinks I cheated on him (which I did not) back in April which is probably when I got pregnant. This is all almost too much for me to handle. I have severe depression and anxiety and stopped taking my meds because of the pregnancy. I just feel like crying
