Eldest DS 14 is a bit of a hermit at the moment.
I know he keeps in touch with his mates online, but he rarely leaves the house at the moment. He has met up with friends and gone out to town twice so far during the hols.
I've said that he could maybe do with going out more, but how pushy should I be? If I come across to heavy he'll just stay in his room to spite me. My mum has reassured me that it's just a phase, but a few of my friends are about the fact that my son rarely ventures out.
Should I leave him to his own devises for a while and see if he emerges from his cocoon in his own good time?
We are in the country, so all the kids are spread out, so it's not just a case of popping round the corner to see your mate.

DS isn't very sociable and doesn't want to go out, should I be worried?
