playing together or sep?

my ds plays alone a lot, we've had several playgroups now at the house and it is always the same, my dd plays with the girls much more than she ever has with her brother and ds doesn't play with her or the friends....is this a boy thing?
or should I be concerned?

 

It might be that he is not interested in other children now and it might be something he will grow out of. It would not hurt to ask your pediatrician if you are concerned.

 

My DD plays by herself a lot. For as much as an hour at a time occasionally. As long as he is also able to be social with other people, I wouldn't worry.

 

thanks he is
he loves to play with my husband and loves for me to read to him
he also plays chase with my dd and peek a boo with all of us but the majority of his time is spent alone
he does initiate the things I mentioned, it isn't always us after him...
I always worry about him, he was born with torticollis, late to roll over, sit up, crawl, walk. and now talk
he's my baby born 8 hours later than his sister
I'm sure he's fine, my husband always says I am overreacting to him

 

Moms worry! And it never hurts to ask your pedi if you are worried.

 

I believe that it's not until 2.5 or 3 that most toddlers actually start playing cooperatively with others. I think that twins might do it on the earlier side, but it's still not normal for them to play with each other per se at this age. They do, however, play alonside othes and can start getting hte concept of taking turns.
