hi Harsha ! how r u! r u staying in a nuclear family? it's usually seen children who have mostly seen their parents around cling to them and prefer to have them around and take time to socialize. it's advisable to take him to park everyday,or give him opportunities to spend time with agemates by organizing playdates. also u could tell him he will be called a 'grown up boy ' only after he stops clinging to u . rest all children will become taller and he will remain a baby if he continues to cling to u. the purpose is not to embarrass him but motivate him . also when u go to a party u need to apprise him beforehand of the people who will be there , and his friends and their name and more details about them so that he doesn't feel out of place. also share with him politely what u expect from him. once u reach there help him to mingle with his friends and once he is comfortable , let him carry on. praise him for his good behavior. hope this will be of help to u!
