[quote=Anonymous]Lots of good suggestions on here! I try to walk through thinking up an activity to offer based on shared interests (e.g. if they both love soccer watch a soccer game). Make it clear you will drive. I have told my kids: 1) it’s nice to be invited even if it doesn’t work out (as long as you haven’t gotten multiple NOs in a row, then you need to cool it for a while) 2) Everyone is busy , when you make things easy for them it’s more likely to happen. That doesn’t mean bending over backwards in ways that make you uncomfortable, it means being a good socializer is a true skill that they can develop and people will value it. I do more of the inviting and hosting both for myself and my kids. I am ok with it, I consider myself to be good at that particular aspect of friendship.[/quote]
