[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those saying it’s the age, when does this get better? I did a venue whole class party last month and was kind of embarrassed at the behavior of the boys. So loud, so obnoxious, and some of the girls in attendance were not happy. I’m a little relieved to hear it’s not just me, but the age. [/quote]

The problem is that you brought them to a stimulating environment and expected them not to be stimulated. It’s understandable. The current culture is to do big parties.

We had a whole class party this month. We held it at home (3,000 sq ft), so fewer kids came (Only 8, but we invited everyone). I just put out all their best toys, including about 75 lbs of bulk Lego. The kids were sooooo quiet and played with Lego the entire time. We paused for pizza and cake, and then they all played Lego until it was time to go home. One mom of a boy with high energy told me twice how much she loved the party. She didn’t have to redirect him once. She just socialized with the other adults the entire time. Multiple parents told me how lovely it was, but that mom really, really liked the setup.[/quote]

I wonder if any of the kids thought it was burning, or “not that special,” though? I know the adults love it but kids often enjoy mayhem for special events. [/quote]
