Dear dont worry some kids r less ffrndlybut gradually they will b more smarter and more frndly. i have seen the same attitude in my DS . I always tried to encourage him go go n play..he feels shy always.. but now he is somwat chnged a lot.. now i have to run n find him wer he is... It is just a mtter of time... How long he has strtd going to school.?/is he ur only kid?.. The teacher over there can also help him, motivate him.. appreciate him etc.. and abt tummy pain ? Is tht everyday... ? Send food which he likes and try decorating like eyes on idly , face on bread etc... Do u have any frnd with same age kid, try to b company with thm n let him have more time with tht kid n he shud feel he/she is a good frnd...

Hi,
My suggestion would be..try to get in contact with some of his classmates' parent who are close to your locality and make him spend some time with them apart from school time.Initially you can stay with him for some time and slowly reduce your presence there.Gradually you'll see..that classmate's friends will become his friends too.

Regarding food..try to give him food that he'll eat for sure like boiled corn...cutlets..bread,butter and jam..atleast he might eat this little food for sure..plain macroni with butter,salt,cheese(if he likes) and pepper..feed him all our regular food when he is at home..this is what i am doing rite now..it is working most of the time.

Send small notes/drawings in the snack box/lunch box. Hide it in his notebook. Write things like, guess what is waiting at home etc.. Try sending small things to share with his classmates (a coloring paper). If he likes eggs, get cookie cutters and make omlettes in different shapes. You can make pooris too.
Invite his classmates home with their mothers for a tea, let him interact with one kid at a time. He will be ok.
