[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think this is for you to worry about, your kid needs to make friends himself. You can set up outings or times to hang out but he should be asking his friends to come. One of my kids just finished 5th grade and I have kids in their teens. By about 3rd grade all my kids were making their own plans and handing out my phone number and vice versa. I talk to their parents after to make sure it’s ok but haven’t become friends with any of their parents. Most of my kids friends come from school. They are friendly with teammates from sports but they are not their friends that they’d want to invite over. My rising 2nd grader is the only one I talk to parents about play dates anymore and that is still kid led with the kids asking the parents and then we reach out. My kids also aren’t friends with any of my friends kids. [/quote]
