I have a twelve year old boy. We have never lived in a neighborhood with
other kids nearby. We do playdates with friends from church, homeschool
groups, etc. I think he'd love to have more time with friends, but it's often
virtually impossible to arrange. He has a few very close friends, and has
never been a social animal. Mostly he's very happy with adults or by himself,
but he REALLY wishes his best friend lived with us.
