This is something that has just raised it's head. My son is 5 and he sees kids in his class going home with each other.

He has allergies to some foods so I have had relatives and close friends and their kids over and we have been to theirs and I take food with me. They all understand the need to keep foods separate and have seen him grow up, so know him well.

My son came home this week and asked could he go to "such and suches " house to play. I wonder how others have handled it.

I feel others don't understand him and his condition (newly diagnosed so I don't really) and his behaviour, I wouldn't want to put on another adult the responsibility of how he is to deal with. He is not a naughty boy just lives life in fast lane, running, shouting, jumping, not sitting still. My other children (4 of them) would visit friends houses and watch videos or play nicely. He does neither
of these prefering to run wild outside. I feel I am hampering his building friendships but not sure how to deal with it.
