[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp again. The very big difference about older kids is that only the kids need to get along. Everything is drop off and parents are not involved anymore. From about 8-9, my boys would make plans. In preschool and kindergarten, it is as much for parents as kids and if moms don’t get along, that play date isn’t happening. Early elementary is challenging since parents may not feel comfortable dropping off and they don’t want to give up that one Saturday afternoon to OP with one child when they can meet a good friend or go to Costco. They would rather go to Costco or stay home and relax so they say they are busy.[/quote] There as no way my 8-9 year old made plans. [/quote] Making plans equates to 2-3 boys begging parents at school pick up if Johnny and Bobby can come over. Or if we say we have soccer, DS asking if Bobby can come over after soccer.[/quote]
