Playdates
November 1st, 2009 | 618 views | by fireflyI don’t remember last time Princess had a playdate! We go to the local park (which is a post on it’s own…and it’s coming your way soon LOL), and she plays with the kids that are in our street…
This whole thing is stuck in my mind for days…Should I schedule more playdates for her? Is there really a need for that? Am I the only Mom who doesn’t find it necessary LOL?
Maybe I don’t get it…should she have by now one or two friends that she sees all the time, or is it early at 4 and a half to think about that?
I’m telling you, this parenting thing can get confusing some days LOL
Tell me: Do you schedule playdates for your kids? How many?
I don’t sch them, Cole does go over to the neighbors house a lot of the times. We do met friends often at the zoo or other places. I think it’s good for them plus it helps with to have another adult to talk to everyonce in a while … LOL
I think it’s everyone’s thing what they like to do. I don’t think it will make a break anything!
We do pretty much the same, she does play in the park with the kids she knows for the past 2 years, she plays with the girls from the next door, but it was a long time when we actually had a kid over for a day, or when she was at friends house without us there!
I love playdates, but I think they are really good for mommies too
When Princess was little I loved playdates LOL it was more for me and other moms than for our babies
than we moved and things got all over the place…new town, new neighborhood. From time to time we still see our friends from there 
Follow her lead. If she asks, go for it. If she’s not bored and she’s content, you’re probably fine.
I think that is the best way
thanks 
As long has she is getting social interaction it’s a good thing. She’s gonna need it for school. I don’t “schedule” playdates, I would just rather send them outside to play like we did as kids. Things are just so structured and forced anymore I don’t want play time to be like that. I agree with BlueViolet…take her lead.
I know what you mean about scheduled everything even play time. I would love just to send her out to play like we use to, but some days I’m afraid for safety of our kids even when we’re right next to them!Crazy things are happening in the world, and it’s not as safe as when we were kids, at least not here!
She is definitely getting enough interaction with the kids, so I guess I have nothing to worry about!
I do during the summer I wish I knew more kids my 4 yr olds age. My dd has schedule fun time w/ her girlfriends
Summers are always easier for us too LOL in fall and winter I’m so lost!
