improve social skills

leungchai

My kid is a very "straight" boy.  He's obedient but too bad that his social skills are poor.  He's not easy to start a meaningful and smooth conversation with his peers, though he loves to play with them.  I worry that he might be perceived as "odd" as time goes by, especially if compares with those mature kids.

Can anyone grant me some ideas of how to improve his social skills? I feel sad sometimes as though he loves his school, he could not enjoy the interactions from the day-to-day friendship with his peers.   I could really hardly think of any methods to improve it.

Please help!!
