I have a son who is really struggling with school. He is smart, well behaved, polite (most of the time), and an all around good kid. He is very shy, and it prevents him from making friends and participating in recess activities. He sits alone at lunch. He's just lonely and sad. He's really struggling. He really likes learning and he likes his teacher.
We aren't sure what to do. It affects his behavior at home, he is pretty ornery at home, because he is bottled up so much at school.
Anyone have any advice?
