my five-year-old son
My five year old son isn't interested in paying with other kids. My husband is VERY concerned. He will play with his sister and his cousins (all younger, all girls) and an occasionaly older girl who will act as a follower. My son likes to be in charge, he is the 1st born. Do you think any of theses characteristics are a sign that there is something wrong with him socially? He just seems to prefer the company of adults.

Maybe give some free advice about: Parenting?
Maybe you should try to find a group that has kids in age ranging from four years old to seven year olds. Both boys and girls. Maybe you will find that he isnt used to playing with anyone else but adults and younger kids. If you keep him in this group for awhile he might start to like playing with kids his own age. If it continues after this you may want to take him to a child phycologist. The problem could be a deeper issue then you would realize.

Ok listen to me first off your son is perfectly fine so you and your husband can relax....second don't be so quick to take him to a doctor and waste money because all there gonna do is try and get more money from you by liying and telling you all these big names for what's wrong with him...please that's all bull.....let me tell you something Iam not ashamed to say I didn't learn how to read the end of fourth grade.....they wanted me in special ed. They wanted me to see a therapist,they thought I had brain damage.......and my mom fought for me untill the end........
Geuss wat lady they were all wrong because I'm so smart now,that I skipped high school all together and went straight to college....I'm at the top of everyone of my classes and people always need my help in every subject.....that just goes to show you that maybe if you have faith in your child and you know your own kid and you give your kid time....they'll come around...eventually....it just takes patience....and what ever you do...do not put your child on drugs....you will mess up your kids brain and child hood.....I'm just glad my mom didn't put me on medicine and I'm glad she didnt listen to those people who said I'm not capable of learning....and another thing......
You ever thought that your kid feeling to mature to deal with the kids his own age was a good thing....and him liking his girl cousins is maybe not so much a bad sighn...I mean he is still a boy...I think your child is very smart and safisticated for his age and I would be proud if I was you....not concerned.....I hope I helped goodluck....godbless....and if you need me you can leave me a message on here or hit me up on my yahoo....you have a good kid lady don't be mistaken..... :)

Well I think it is probally that he is just shy. But I am not sure of all medical problumes in kids but I do know some about autism. I cant say that he has it but my sisters little girl has it and when she was that age she usually played with younger kids or was very close by to her mom or dad and got very upset when either left, she didnt talk very much, and she didnt have a vocabulary of what a 5 year old should have. Also they usually dont like to look people in the eye. Like I said before I am not saying that he has this but you might ask your doctor what they think if it is just normal shyness or if he needs to be tested for something. I hope this helped a little bit.

There is nothing wrong with your son.
He will learn to play with others his
own age once he gets to school. Right
now he likes being around adults because
it is what he is used to. :)

Something wrong with him?
Sweetie, it just means hes different. Different isnt a problem.
At 5, its not a sign of anything. It could be that he wants to feel grown up. It could be that he is imitating you. It could be a ton of different reasons.
He shows leadership tendancies, so in that direction you should encourage him towards his strengths while teaching him not to be arrogant about being a leader. Who knows, you might end up with a presidential son some day.

He wants to be a grown up. You said he always wants to be in charge so maybe he is trying to be a big boy and learn from the adults. ask him if he wants to play with the other kids and see what he says. I say talk to him first and find out what he does when he hangs out with the adults. does he copy you or the other adults or does he sit there quit? he might be a very shy kid and wants to stay with you. so talk to him and talk to a psychologist.

I was actually the same way, and I still generally prefer the company of adults over people my age. I am an only child.
You don't mention if he's started school or not. If not, wait a few months into the year and ask his teacher how he does. I really became social in elementary school, not kindergarten.
If after a few months of school he is still not as social as you think he should be, ask to have him checked out by the school psychologist.
I hope this helps.
