Other children being nasty.

This has only happened to me a few times with our son. My son is very outgoing and social so he will literally go up to anyone or everyone and play with them. He always includes other kids. Bt what I have learned it’s not the same for every kid. Some kids are very cliquey & maybe they don’t when they are being rude. Bt I wouldn’t think too much of it, it’s probably just how they were raised. Since I’m not raising my kid like that cuz it’s borderline lowkey bullying it’s sometimes hard to understand bt this is just how life works. Some kids will play with ur kid and some will not. The only thing I do is jus try to make my son understand that not everyone is a “friend” or “friendly”
This goes for adults as well. Cuz even as adults, I wudnt be offended if some1 in a public place didn’t want to be friends with me or didn’t talk to me. I think bittersweet moments like that can be learning lessons for the little ones. these are harsh cruel lessons to learn at such tender & young age

Kids can be mean and I’m guessing it’s older kids saying this too him not other 3 year olds, have you tried going to play groups with just little kids (up to 4/5) he might have a better chance of making some friends
This doesn’t happen to my 3 year old but at the park it’s normally kids slightly older that will play with her maybe I just live in a nice area cos I have heard other parents have the same experience as you

My boys are usually friends with almost anyone but my daughter will say no, unless she wants to. And that's barely. I usually try to convince her and let her know that sometimes when you try things, you will be surprised :) some kids are more picky definitely lol

It is always when he goes up to a group of children who are already friends or brothers/sisters. He makes friends if they’re an only child on their own but it’s the groups and then they don’t just say ‘no’ they end up being mean sticking their tongue out and saying nasty things. I wouldn’t say we are from a bad area at all but the kids are just so nasty. He goes to nursery and playgroups, I guess still struggles a little bit to really bond or click with someone. Makes me sad

The way that I would have to fight the urge to push the child being mean to my child down... Thankfully we haven't encountered this yet she turns a year on the 3rd
