[quote=Anonymous]We have two kids under 10 and usually start in the 1-2 hour range to see how it goes. First playdate is usually more heavily supervised/monitored. If the kids seem to really get along and aren't destructive or bickering, we are comfortable upping the duration to 3-4 hours, but it also depends on the other family's appetite for it and if the kid has a laundry list of dietary restrictions, etc. We usually alternate sites (our house/their house), so they have to be mutually willing to host for longer periods of time. I'd be fine going beyond 4 hours with a family we knew/trusted if they were up for it, but haven't encountered that yet. And the ideal is finding a family where both our kids can go playdate simultaneously and give us a full rather than partial break![/quote]
