[quote=Anonymous]Because they are 4 and not 14, I as the parent would take the reigns when the neighbor is over and i would direct the play. I would not leave 4 yr olds to wing it and hope they got it right and include the differently abled child appropriately and in a way that protects his self esteem. I would also give my own kid a heads up that this kind of "interruption" may occur from time to time, and "that's the way it is.". In this conversation -- out of earshot of the neighbor family -- THIS is when I'd ask my own 4 yr old for his input on games and also let him talk candidly about how he feels. But I'd remain firm on inclusion, unlike the dick unthread from 1952. Inclusion of the more vulnerable is nonnegotiable in our house, like learning how to swim and teeth brushing. [/quote]
