[quote=Anonymous]We have a neighbor girl that cane over every day at that age.  She’s 9 now and it is much less frequent.  If it wasn’t convenient I would just say in a very friendly voice “it’s nkt a good time now so you’ll have to go home.  But we’ll see you again another day!  Some kids take longer to learn those social rules.
I really would not discourage it that much.  There will come a day when you might be thrilled to have that kind of easy relationship.  Girls relationships get tough starting around 3rd/4th grade and a neighbor that goes to a different school can be so helpful.  I also don’t see why having the girl over is going to decrease the bonding between your own girls, but maybe I’m just obtuse on that one.

I would try to get to know the parents better, though.  On our street, all the adults know each other pretty well and we’re all borrowing bandaids and sugar and such.  I would also be concerned about the crying on your stoop.  That’s the only part of your post that strikes me as off.
