Hi Sir. My son is in class 9 and he is not interested in making friends and hence no one likes in his class but he is very good in study.I want him to be more social also. pls help me

Ans: Hello Sachin,
Encourage him to take challenging competitive exams like Olympiads etc so that he will get an early orientation of competitive exams, as after the 12th admissions into any professional course will be through entrance exams only.


Also, support his extracurricular activities. As it is said all study no play makes Jack a dull boy. Overall personality development is also necessary. If time permits in the vacation period go for a public speaking course.

Help him develop good study habits. High school can be challenging, and it's important that your son develops good study habits early on. Encourage him to set aside time each day for homework and self-studying, and help him develop a routine that works for him.

All the best.

Ans: I can understand your concerns.
If you can not get to him ,start getting closer to his friends and be there with out any judgements .
I know that it's going to be difficult initially but believe me,it is going to help you get closer to him.
First Target should be behavior control.
Talk to him about his liking but give options too to choose.

Ans: Dear Vihaan,
A few of us love being social butterflies and a few of us love the company of ourselves. I am not about to box anyone as an introvert of extrovert as we can switch from one to the other according to varying situations.

You son maybe one of those people whose social battery drains being around people, He perhaps doesn't need to socialize in order to feel good or happy. And you perhaps worry either because you see his peers being all out there or maybe because you are a very outgoing person.

As long as he is happy and is focused in academics and does not display behaviour that is detrimental to his mind and body, just let him be. There's a lifetime to be in social circles and he will blend in when he feels necessary, And if you must want to help, so that he 'socially connects', you can facilitate visits to places of his interest. No need for anyone to start a discussion for him as that will make him feel socially awkward and he will detest being with people altogether. I understand your concern, but there isn't anything to worry about unless he withdraws completely or isolates himself. It's all good and natural...

All the best!

Ans: I'm sorry to hear that your son is struggling in school. It's great that you and your wife are trying to help him. Here are some tips that may help:

1. Encourage healthy habits: Eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly can help improve focus and concentration.

2. Create a study-friendly environment: Make sure your son has a quiet, well-lit space to study. Remove any distractions, such as TV or mobile phones, during study time.

3. Set goals: Work with your son to set achievable goals for his studies. Break down larger goals into smaller, more manageable tasks.

4. Reward progress: Celebrate your son's successes, no matter how small. Rewards can be as simple as a favorite meal or activity.

5. Encourage active learning: Encourage your son to take an active role in his learning. This can include asking questions, taking notes, and summarizing what he's learned.

6. Get support: Consider enlisting the help of a tutor or academic coach. They can provide additional support and guidance to help your son succeed.

Remember, every child learns differently, so it may take some time to find what works best for your son. Be patient and supportive, and don't hesitate to seek professional help if needed.
