[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With my DS & DD I have always found that it is best to make some cool plans that involve others.  Some examples that I can think of:

1) Chartered a fishing boat

2) Concerts

3) Paintball

4)  Ice skating

5) Spa day

6) Learning to cook

7) Bonfire on beach

8) Bowling

9) Mini-golf

10) NBA Games

11) Baseball games

12) NHL Games

I make these plans for them a couple weeks in advance for him and 2 or 3 friends.  My rules was that it can't always be the same friends, I know who he asks in advance and that I must clear this activity with the other parents well in advance.  Clearing it with the other parents helps make sure that plans don't change at the last minute or that the other teen does not "forget" all about it.

I only needed to do this for the freshman and sophomore years.  Once they were upperclassmen, they had a solid group of friends.  I do think that this helped out in them cultivating friendships.

These are expensive and elaborate plans for kids - like trying to buy friendships. Really weird. And requiring different friends each time even weirder. Sorry this does not seem normal or very kid like. [/quote]
