thanks chris1234 - I just ordered a copy.

My little'un (little'un - the 9yo is only 8 inches shorter than me) just doesn't know how to act with his peers. He's okay with elder kids and adults. I saw him the other day at cubs go up to a group of his mates and just stand outside the group. Eventually he hits one of them to start a game of tag, and got chased all over the field by a few of them. It's almost like he doesn't know how to get himself into the group - an adult would mostly just say "hi guys" and join in.

There are always issues which seem like he's being bullied but I think he either misreads the behaviour of his peers or doesn't know how to respond to a bit of banter and horseplay between the lads.

So I hope this book will give me some help
Thanks again
