Do I recall that your child is in kindergarten? Not being exposed to other children besides the playground is pretty highly unusual in this day and age. Many kids can adjust to greater and lesser *structure* but it is challenging if they are newly adjusting to the concept of expected behavior. And it is fairly normal to expect a child entering kindergarten to have some notion of getting along with other children.

The biog question is how do you help him bridge that gap? I wish I had a suggestion for that.

Can you find some after school activity for him that would get him to be around more kids and learn some more about sharing and following a structure?
