[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid invited a a bunch of girls she doesn’t know well to her 9th birthday and they all came and seemed to have a good time.  She said funny things like “I need to invite larla because I’m having chocolate cake and she LOVES chocolate cake” or “I’m inviting Larla because once we were partners in gym and she said she loved roller skating.”

[b]At 9, most kids seem to like b day parties without much thought about who is celebrating.  I was worried kids wouldn’t want to come, but they showed up and reciprocated the invitation to their parties.[/b]  Some have become closer friends.  [/quote]

This. I have two kids around this age, including a nine year old DD and she LOVES a birthday party. My DS who is a little younger has some social skills delays and we always cast a wide net for his birthday and have a ton of friends come out. A few have become playdate friends and they all invite him to their parties, which widens the social net.

If we are invited, I make the effort to go because I am trying to teach them to show up for people the way they want to be shown up for. [/quote]
