[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a 10 y/o boy, but the boys have a decent amount of video game time when they have a friend over. They also play outside (basketball, etc) but are you allowing any screens? I used to insist on no screens during play dates when they were younger, but I think if you are expecting two girls to create plays, have salons, and come up with endless creative ideas, it can be hard. Your daughter may be trying to loop you in because she’s out of new ideas for things to do with her friend and is worried the friend won’t have fun and will not want to hang out with her, so she’s trying to subtly enlist your support. It’s ok to let them have a little screen time to learn choreography to a dance or whatnot or just take a break from being “on.”[/quote]
