To answer the initial question, is it normal for a child to have older friends: I would say yes. Most of my friends were 2 or 3 years older when I was growing up, and the reason I preferred hanging out with them as opposed to kids my own age was because I felt closer in maturity to them. However, if this girl is treating him badly, then that in not a good thing, regardless of their age difference.
Thank you for your thoughtful response! I think you are right, and the real issue that I am concerned about is that the girl in question seems not to be a good friend. I suppose I'm more concerned as to her behaviour, as it seems quite immature, even more immature than my son's, and more immature than many other children's much younger than her.
yes this is normol ,it proboly means he is more mature than most kids his age so he would prefere the older children and if he is smart enough and freindly enough thier no wonder why the older children would dislike him and generally older kids find smaller kids cute alot of the time .
