[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, sounds like we are relatively normal then. DS has known many of the neighborhood kids for his whole life, from child care / preschool, park & pool, etc. But the core group of 8-10 kids have all scattered for K.

DS definitely talked about missing his preschool friends early on. By about week 2, he’d talk about other kids by name. There’s one particular kid he talks about a lot and wants to invite over, which I’ll do.

It’s probably just me being over-sensitive when we’ve gone from seeing friends all the time to him saying, “X is my only friend at school.” The teacher says he’s played with everyone, so I guess we’re on the right track. [/quote]

Can you still do playdates with the neighborhood/daycare friends on weekends? It’s good for kids to stay in touch with multiple groups of friends.

My K’er took a week to start talking up her new private school K friends, and we’ll soon start to do play dates with them if they’re amenable (we’ve met up with one so far). However, we’ve focused more on afterschool play dates with her neighborhood friends. She sees her school friends for 7 hours a day, so why not switch it up afterschool is my feeling.[/quote]

Yep, for sure. We’ve had pool / park meetups and drop off play dates and an upcoming birthday party with preschool / neighborhood friends. We want to nurture those and have gotten quite close with several families. [/quote]
