[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do recommend supporting playdates, at least once. When my child talks a lot about a particular friend at school, I'll ask if they want a playdate, and if so, I'll send a note with my phone number to school with the kid, to give to the other kid to give to their parent. I've gotten in touch with the parent by text that way, and once you have each other's info, it's very easy to send invites to bday parties, playdates, etc. [/quote]

I’m new and have reached out to two people for playdates. One never responded (their kid knows I emailed mom because my kid has talked about it) and one said (sure but we are busy! And that was 3 months ago). I don’t get the sense that people want to have play dates in elementary. Or they don’t want to with my kid :( [/quote]

It may just be timing. I did a few play dates right when school started with people we knew last year. Now we are busy with after school activities and sports, not just the first grader but with older siblings.

I remember there was this boy and mom who asked for a play date. We said yes but they were busy. I forgot about even after my son asked me 10x. Then they asked again next time they saw me like a month later. Never set up a time. I invited that kid over and he couldn’t make it. 6 months later the mom finally invited my kid over and he went.[/quote]

I guess I’ll ask that second mom again. But I don’t like to be the one asking twice because if people secretly want to decline I don’t want to force them into an uncomfortable position. I don’t know what to make of email ignoring mom. Our kids play together at school and the teacher has told me they are pretty much best buds.  [/quote]
