We had a birthday present to take to our friends daughter tonight, who is a year older than our son. They also have a daughter a year younger than our son, and a son who is one and a half.
Our son loves playing with the kids, and always has a great time. It does take him a few minutes to get in their house, even though he knows them really well. Each visit had got better, he has gone in the house a bit quicker each time.
I said to him last night we were going tonight, but he said no way. So I said no more on the subject. Tonight I said to him again but he was still saying no. I ended up just going myself.
Should I stop telling him when we are going? Do we just say let’s go and hope for the best?
It’s happening regularly now that he doesn’t want to go anywhere, and we don’t push it. But should we? Is this a barrier we have to suffer to get over?
