[quote=Anonymous]The mom will very likely be understanding. All kids are different and some handle the business and chaos better than others. Suggest a playdate at your house or a playground or something more low key. There really isn't anything you could have done to prepare your kid. I avoided places like this when DS was 4-5 years old because the chaos seemed to stress him out. He would get nervous and other kids either cutting him in line or getting annoyed with him being slower just made him more nervous. The only thing I really worked on with him is to be more assertive when kids would cut him in line. He's 11 now and can handle all those chaotic places easily but knowing his limits, being more assertive, and pushing himself to overcome his nervousness with things definitely took time and effort on all our parts.
