[quote=Anonymous]I had some "mean girl" neighbors (my kids are older). I went out and bought some Really Super Cool Yard Toys -- the amazing summer sprinker, the backpack water sprayers, the really big bouncing ball, etc. -- and had my kids go outside and play when those kids were outside, too. Maybe my child has invited a school friend over (one who didn't live in the neighborhood). They proceeded to have a total blast. Other kids know where the real fun is, and the kids of the mean girl moms would begin to hover. I would say that they could play to, but they would have to ask their moms. They did, and that forced an interaction. Having the cool toys works whether you're 4 or 40. Don't be afraid to have fun![/quote]
