Even for adults, it is quite difficult to remain without friends, since communication is an important element of a full life for us.
It is even more important for a child to make friends.
It is much more difficult for a loner to cope with the pressure in a group of children. Also, without friends, it will be difficult to spend time normally, play and communicate.
Why does the child have no friends?
Large social differences
Children sometimes react very actively to differences in financial terms and may not accept a child from a less well-off family. This situation is difficult to resolve.
It might be worth finding an educational institution for your child where everyone will be within roughly the same financial means.
Brothers or sisters
Sometimes children may get the social interaction they need within their family. If siblings have warm relationships, they may not want to make friends outside the family.
In this case, it is important to explain to the child that this is useful training for his social skills.

If a child has almost every minute scheduled, then there may simply be no time left for friends and spending leisure time with them. Therefore, it is worth making a schedule for children correctly.
Additional education and clubs are, of course, important, but a child should also have a personal life, experts believe.
Character traits
Not all people are social by nature. Some children are more comfortable spending time alone. In this case, it is worth considering working with a psychologist.
Although over time such children will still find a way to establish communication with other people and even find friends. They are simply not ready to spend time on everyone: they most often choose one friend.
