[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you take a bunch of boys on a birthday outing, they’re going to go a little crazy. It is what it is.

Also - I have a 10 year old boy. I could invite 9 of his friends to a party and it would be fine. [b]But if 1 maybe 2 particular friends joined, the whole thing would go off the rails.[/b] They aren’t bad kids, especially 1 on 1 or in small groups. But in big groups they turn on the clown performance, and the other kids either feel pressured to keep up with him, or become disregulated and upset if he’s doing something he shouldn’t, or they start laughing and getting silly. Now all of a sudden you have a party where 2 of the kids are upset and want to go home, 1 kid is noticing that 2 kids are upset and is now uneasy himself, 1 kid is taking it too far and about to get into a shoving match with another kid, a few normally good kids are starting to like, throw popcorn or smear food because another kid egged them on … I could go on.

As a teacher and parent, this! For boys (and to some extent, girls) there are always going to be these kids. And usually, they are “the most fun” to other kids. Parents, not so much.[/quote]
