What Max really really wants

Max just asked 'do you know what I really really want to find? A friend.'

A tender little heart resides in that sassy boy.

Since Anastassia left Max has struggled to find his place. He is well established as the fight fixer. When he was sick the girls in his group told Mathilda that they needed Max to solve their fights. But Max is short of a bosom buddy.

Oscar (who is five) told his Mum that Max is his best friend. And the girls in the middle group love Max to death and want to play with him all the time.

But there is still no one to be a special friend. Mathilda talked to me this very afternoon about the problem. She is enduringly insightful and endlessly caring. Maris suggested Melou and Mya as possible friends - we'll invite them to play next term.

Max may be short of a soul mate - but he is not short of people who love him - at home or at school.

Jesse is taking him to bed to read some more.
