[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not do a play date where they can actually play together? If your kid can’t swim and the other boy can, it’s going to be a drag for the other boy. I’d relocate to a playground or your house to set up a situation that can yield better results.

Your friend should discipline her kid. You should say something to him if she doesn’t. [/quote]

+1 Do not intentionally set everyone up for failure. And DO NOT do the whole positive reinforcement thing with the other child - you will look and sound foolish and weird. Go to the playground and keep and eye on things. If the other kid is mean, no more get togethers, but you don’t need to tell anyone this. Maybe thing have changed. But the pool with different Swimming levels is no fun for anyone.[/quote]

DP here.  I agree with this post, with my take: you don't have to gush or encourage the other kid, or even be positive toward the other kid, at this rate. You are not the other kid's parents.  Other parents are exhausting when they try to suck all your energy.  [/quote]
