[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have asked nicely to those parents sitting in chair to give up one seat. If you are shy, talk to 
the host or the staff to ask for you. [/quote]

I would totally ask the host where my child could sit.

As a host, I would just say we need to ensure all kids can seat - would the adults in the room please stand up and first ensure that all kids can sit. [/quote]

Exactly this. [/quote]

The host DID grab a seat for OPs kid and he refused to sit in it. Op, I'd work on some resiliency with your kid.  Mine has always been pretty sensitive and we had to work with him on learning to some things go.  It got better as he got older, but early elementary school was hard. [/quote]

+1. A meltdown at a kids party is nbd, it happens and most of us have been there. But there are ways to build confidence and resiliency by asking for what you need and in learning to be flexible and roll with situations that aren’t ideal.

OP, you can model these behaviors by taking charge. Blaming everyone around you for being bad parents and bad kids isn’t helpful in the long term and will not help you or your child.

And I would consider changing schools or classes if your child is in K is truly the only 5 y/o and a lot of the kids are 7. [/quote]
