[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kindergartener will not let me drop him off. I would love to. I do tell people this when he's invited though. I usually decline saying he is working up to drop offs and they usually understand.[/quote]

+ 1. First grader will only do drop off with friends she knows really well. My older kid never had this issue, but he is not shy and she is. She’s working on it. I would be thrilled to drop her off![/quote]

I still feel guilt when I think how many times I had my kindergartener go to play dates with classmates she wasn’t friends with.   She didn’t always want to go but I said let’s not make him feel bad.   But it was the mothers arranging these so I needed more courage to say no, we can’t.  I never asked her what they did especially if she was at a boys house.

Our school allowed kids to take another bus so she would take a bus with the other child and I would pick her up.

There’s nothing wrong with her wanting to go alone only with close friends.  She can do more when she gets older.
