I wonder if anyone can help me.  My 8 year old son complains that the children in his class don't let him join in their games (typically a running game).  I have tried speaking to the Rebbe who tells the kids to let him join in but he claims they don't try to catch him.  I want to know how I can help make him become liked by class members.  I also want to know how I can stop him from constantly berating the boys in his class.  On one hand, I need to maintain an open relationship with him so he feels free to tell me his issues.  On the other hand, I think some of the bullying may not be as bad as he is implying!  I have spoken to the Rebbe etc who has warned the boys to be nice etc.  I tried speaking to two parents of boys (one said my son doesn't listen to the rules so therefore they don't let him play) and another said he likes playing with him when he brings a ball.  Please tell me how I can solve this dilemmas.  I desperately want him to be happy in break time, know  his social skills require improvement.  He is a very clever child and hates being pushed around (like boys typically do!).  Please help.  Thanks in advance
