[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to prioritize finding friends who are like family. Vacation with them, have holidays with them, etc. [/quote] Exactly this. It may take a bit of work, but find other families who are available on holidays or have the bandwidth to take vacations (maybe bc they don't have family, or they don't spend a lot of time with their family). Then make it happen. Also, just get used to inviting a friend along as your child gets older. At first you'll think it's more work, but it's really not because your kid is entertained by their friend. It also helps your own child learn how to accommodate another person's ideas and feelings into something like a vacation. I'd think this would work best for age 7 and up. Invite and invite and invite friends over. You can create the community you want.[/quote]
