Much as we want to make them feel better, that's not what's really best for them. No one is going to follow them throughout life making them feel better, so they have to learn to either do it themselves or deal with it. <br /><br />So recognize and validate his feelings,and then help him to focus on what's good in his life. Help him accept the fact the the boy/girl ratio isn't going to change.Cynthia Meentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775952813637311480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1884296251458643191.post-22667509090383071982013-06-06T19:29:51.581-04:002013-06-06T19:29:51.581-04:00That is hard... and I'm really not sure.

As for getting him to understand that girls have value too he might be a little young to acknowledge that, but just by you being strong and wonderful he is learning that every day.Hilary @ Peanut Butter Spoonfulshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526605614012515551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1884296251458643191.post-21389112685285078302013-06-06T13:53:22.413-04:002013-06-06T13:53:22.413-04:00That is a tough one!

And make all the girls go bug hunting, or play super heros, or baseball or whatever he is into!

Maybe tell your son that one day he'll be happy to be the only boy in a room full of girls (although probably preferably ones who aren't related to him).THE SARCASM GODDESShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701902616479991303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1884296251458643191.post-40632647648308267932013-06-05T23:14:42.926-04:002013-06-05T23:14:42.926-04:00Poor little dude!

Since it's summer, how about sending your little guy there for a few days, then later have the cousins over for a few days? Of more play dates with his friends? Definitely don't have another baby just to see if you can have a boy!

Can he do sleepovers with buddies? It was right around this time that that stuff started right?

Or even just have a few weekend sleepovers with friends? I don't really know when sleepovers start. Is he too young? Or do boys not do that? I think I remember my brother having guy friends spend the night when he was young. Lame, I know, but could you get a boy dog or something?<br /><br />Sorry he's sad :(Sheelahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18007274689887837909noreply@blogger.com
