Give him some words to use in stressful situations.
“I need some space”
“I don’t like that”
Especially if he hasn’t been around other kids a lot. They’re loud. They’ll take what you were playing with. They won’t give you the toy you want. They’re in your space. They’ll run into you. Pack 10+ kids in one room with 1-2 adults and there’s bound to be some chaos.
Teach him to ask for help and vocalize what he needs. Sometimes kids won’t advocate for themselves because they’re so used to the adults in their lives knowing them so well that they anticipate their needs.
Also, I second all the independent stuff from the one poster.
This is really good advice! Figuring out the right way to deal with frustrating peers is something they'll pick up at school, but getting them started down that path early will make their first few weeks so much better.
Thank you! That is good advice. My brother is very shy and doesnt like saying much to other people but well work on this
