[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Might be just a difference of culture between you and some of the other families. For example you said your kid loves video games, and we discourage friendships with kids like that because we’d much rather our kids do other things.[/quote] This could be it too. My 9 y o has had more than one friend over who whines the entire time about how boring everything is and NEEDS to either watch tv or play video games or get on the iPad. Well we don’t have video games or iPads, but we do have lots of outdoor toys, sports equipment, bikes, board games, art supplies, crafts, STEM tools, and building kits. Other times DS has gone over to others’ houses and I know they just get on screens and parents don’t care. DS wants to go out to play basketball after one TV show but kids often don’t. I don’t really reach out to these kids’ parents. [/quote]
