One of the biggest complaints/concerns most parents have with their own kids is that the kids don't get enough socialization time with their own age group.
When they get home from school, a huge number of kids jump on the computers to surf the internet, play World of Warcraft or other role playing games, chat on instant messenger about what went on with school that day or text message back and forth on their cell phones. Even though other kids are involved in all of these activities, none of them create social skills that can only be learned in face to face interactions.
Group play,something that is invaluable to younger children for learning the basics of person to person interaction as well as just plain getting along with others is equally as important for an older child. If they can't interact with others in a positive way, they will have difficulties in college and later, in the work force if they can't communicate and again, get along.
If your child is a real wall flower is isn't showing any interest in doing any type of activity that includes others or is basically located outside of their room, try the fun of racing RC vehicles. There are track ruling race cars, monster trucks that will conquer obstacles and for the best of both worlds,
Truggies.
Get a pair of cars and practice driving, turns and jumps with your child then either find a group in your area or create one of your own. Check out local parks, many local RC enthusiasts meet on weekends for races and in some communities there are actual RC tracks and obstacle courses. The internet is a rich source of information too - the idea is to just jump in and get involved.
