[quote=Anonymous]I love having kids ring our doorbell. It helps me to view the challenges around this type of interaction as good opportunities for my kids to practice and see boundaries and healthy social behaviors. They know the families that want a formal playdate set up by parents. They don’t knock on those doors. They also have seen me say hey it’s time for dinner time for you to head home! And I have encouraged them to say no if they don’t feel like playing or have homework or something and to not be offended when some one isn’t available. Our main rules are on timing and how far they can go. I would think it was a little weird if you sat and watched but would just move on with my day.[/quote]
