[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for the suggestions.  I did supervise the playdate the entire time since my DD sometimes needs some coaching about questions she can ask to facilitate playing with another child.  I actually wound up not needing to do much of that but perhaps I nevertheless was too involved in their play since the other child decided I was her new BFF to the exclusion of my DD.  The other child is in preschool and has been for a couple of years, FWIW, so this isn't a situation where the child hasn't had a lot of social exposure outside the home.  Honestly, I guess I haven't had enough experience with playdates to build confidence about how to intervene with someone else's child without worrying about offending the parents.  I still feel quite awkward about that.  But I'm also not willing to let another child railroad my shy, sweet DD's efforts to be a good playmate at her own home.  I think at least one other playdate it going to be unavoidable but I like the suggestion of trying to have one of the parents there part of the time to observe the behavior if I can finagle that gracefully.  Thanks again for the comments![/quote]
