[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is there so much angst on this board about birthday parties and playdates? So much social comparison going on, and for what? So you can feel bad? I guarantee your child isn’t worrying about this. So much insecurity among the parents on this board. [/quote] I do think sometimes the kids are worrying about it, but I still agree with you. I actually think the less you worry about it as a parent, and just show your kid that you love them and support them regardless of their level of popularity, and that you have confidence in them whether they get invited to a bunch of parties or not, is MUCH more important for their social development. I hope my kid has lots of great friends in their life. But I also hope that in the future, when they are not invited to something, they have the confidence to think "oh well, their loss" and not to become stressed out over it.[/quote] +100[/quote]
