[quote=Anonymous]A group/party of kids is always going to behave worse than a one on one playdate or kids on their own at their own houses. They feed off each others energy. Plus 10 is starting to get into the tween years and such. Re: screens, some parents are VERY restrictive about them at home and so when a kid is out of their own home, the kid goes crazy for more screen time. It’s kid and family dependent. We don’t restrict much at home as long as homework, chores, after school activities (he doesn’t get to take the iPad in the car on shorter trips), and any reading/supplemental work are done. my DS (9) will play Switch or Xbox or whatever at his friends’ houses for awhile but then want to do something more active. I remember going to the mall with my friend and her kids - my DS was 4 at the time and I had a baby, her kids were 5 and 7. They were absolutely transfixed by a random TV in a seating area showing, like, sports highlights or the weather or something totally innocuous because they literally were not allowed to have TV at home. You don’t know what goes on in other peoples homes. My parents were very strict and restrictive when I was a kid and I was a total fiend for cable/satellite TV because we didn’t have it at home, just an antenna for the major networks. [/quote]
