As a child, I only had a couple of friends. At school, a few of the other kids used to bully me, so my school-related memories are overshadowed by those unpleasant moments. So, if your child is more of a loner, you could spend his birthday with family members and relatives such as cousins. Or, you could take them to experience something new, something your little one has never done before, like going on a hike, starting swimming lessons, learning to ride a bike, etc.
