My kid is 7 year old. He is shy(only with strangers). He do not want to make new friends. Recently I moved to new house where all kids play together in the evening. But he do not want to go and play with them. He gets bored because he does not have any friends. So I introduced him to those kids but still he is not ready to go and play.
This is the situation everywhere. He is not ready to make new friends.
How can I motivate him or take fear out of his mind for strangers?



Answer
First just understand and accept that he is not going to jump right into friendships easily. Don't push or pressure him to do so or he will feel just that much more anxiety about it. Let him and even encourage him to watch. See if he wants to do something outside on his own, like bike ride or do some sort of project. It also would be helpful if you perhaps invite 1 of the kids over for a playdate or invite the family over for a cookout. Think about it - would you want to be the 'new' kid in a whole group or would you feel more comfortable meeting 1 at a time?

Be the friendly parent to the other kids. Even if your son isn't outside, try being present outside when the kids are playing, doing gardening or washing your car - maybe even make some brownies or something to pass out. It will ease that transition and be more casual.

At what age can kids start riding dirt bikes?

I have a 7 year old and a 4 year old boy who are interested in dirt biking. What age would it be appropriate for them to start? I think they are a little young, my husband disagrees. What age did your kids start?


Answer
I think thats great that they want to start, there really is no age limit, you just have to go to a local dirt bike retailer and check some bikes out because they come in a bunch of sizes, i've been riding since i was 2 so i know what I'm talking about, its just takes practice. just make sure you teacher your kids and they should be fine.
