[quote=Anonymous]Seriously consider moving neighborhoods. I was in your situation a couple of years ago. We moved into a neighborhood with a ton of elderly neighbors and high school aged kids. There were literally no neighborhood kids around. I started asking every parent I knew how many kids were in their neighborhoods. It sounds stalker-like but I actually printed out maps of neighborhoods and colored dots on it where classmates lived and where his teammates lived whose parents told me their neighborhoods were full of elementary aged kids. We then drove around on weekends. We moved when my son was 9 to a neighborhood several of his classmate live in.

It has been fantastic for my only child. Kids are constantly knocking on our door.  I love it so much I stocked my fridge and cabinets with snacks. I am the mom going out and offering the kids lemonade and cookies after they have scootered, played pick up basketball, hide n go seek, etc. I never say no to kids coming to our door at any hour wanting to play with my kid, because he is now so happy.
