[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t need to plan activities at this age. Give them some space, feed them, let your kid put on a movie. They’ll just want to hang out. Don’t be surprised if a couple peel off to read or whatever if the commotion gets overwhelming. [/quote]

Nobody goes off to read at a birthday party as guests do not bring their own books.[/quote]

Or the commotion gets overwhelming? It’s all a lot of chaos and noise. They have no idea how loud they are but nobody sequesters themselves to read in the middle of it. [/quote]

Lol you should be a fly on the wall at one of my kids' sleepover parties. They all bring books! And yes you will sometimes hear them cajoling on another "put down your book so we can do nail polish" or whatever. Some kids are just like that.

So I think the key is for your kid to know themselves and their friends and pick a them accordingly. One of mine would happily have a book club birthday and the other absolutely no way on earth.[/quote]

I think the point is the bookworms find each other. There isn’t one bookworm doing this when surrounded by the types not likely to drop everything to read in the middle of a party. Birds of a feather stick together. The people who need headphones and quiet aren’t at the shrieky chaotic party in the first place.[/quote]

Sometimes my DD is that kid. Thankfully she's able to advocate for herself and found a nice group of accepting kids who don't care if she goes off to the side with her headphones for a bit. That wasn't the case for her previous group that made fun of anything "weird." And sometimes she's the one leading the loud party dances and songs. It's all good.

Anyway, back to the topic. Karaoke can be fun.[/quote]
