[quote=Anonymous]I have one 7 year old also. Yes, we initiate most play dates. Offer to take the friend, don’t offer a meet up like at a playground or the zoo. Take a kid off their hands, and offer to pick up if that’s feasible. “We’re going to the zoo/pool/whatever and would love to bring Larla. Can we pick her up and drop her off later around 5:00?” Parents of one child just have more bandwidth and if you can take one kid off their hands for a few hours without it taking effort on their part, most parents are happy to say yes (schedule permitting). Also note that at age 7, parents with a 7 year old and younger kids are often still in little kid parenting mode (supervised play dates, family outings, etc). Parents with older kids are more likely to be beyond that and happy to have someone shuttle their kid around without them. [/quote]
