[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to facilitate. Ask who she'd like to invite for a playdate, and do that. Several times.[/quote]

But if they don't really care that much who they interact with, [b]how much does this even matter? [/b]

We do playdates for our K kid but I don't get the sense that we are facilitating longterm relationships. It's more just to make sure our only child gets plenty of interactive playtime with other kids. I think if we had multiple kids we wouldn't do as much and maybe just plan things when our kid asked for it or if we got invited and she seemed interested. I don't think you need to kill yourself over your kindergartener's social life. They are still in the phase where family relationships are most important.[/quote]

NP. Depending on your school culture, these playdates are helping you form relationships with the other mothers that will play a huge part in who your child socializes with in a few years.

Do it or don't do it, but some places the mom friend groups really dominate the girl's elementary social life.

Gross and no thanks. I already have friends and don’t need a weird mom clique where we unnecessarily fixate on our kids’ social lives.[/quote]
