A New Soccer Family

When our son, David, turned 4 we sought out ways to get him outside to engage with other kids because he was at home with us all day.  The places we frequented were our local park and the library.  David would play for a little while - sometimes with another child but he mostly enjoyed playing with his daddy.  We never saw the same children come to play at the park.  I think the lack of consistency made it hard for David to warm up to other kids in addition to being an only child.
