[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP have any of your daughters friends come out and said they were bored? I don't think you should put a restriction on video games/computers but other than that I think there are some good suggestions here. [/quote] One has, but there definitely is some lag in their time together. DD hasn't been invited over much elsewhere so unclear what happens at other play date. Like I said she is shy and we sucked at kid socializing when she was in k-3. What do kids do?[/quote] I think your restriction on electronics, especially given your daughter's shyness, is a mistake. [/quote] I don't. I think it's smart OP. I have a third grade boy and I hate that every play date he goes to seems to devolve into an electronics session. We have very limited electronics at our house as well and yes, it forces him (and me) to be more creative, but so far, so good. The kids play foosball a lot and also run around in the yard. They like Nerf guns. (I realize this is a boy thing.) But there is no way I'd let a play date here focus on electronics so please don't feel bad that you don't offer that. I love the cooking together idea. What kids wouldn't like that?[/quote]
