I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone tonight. Your caring support, helpful suggestions and understanding has been amazing and greatly appreciated!

Yes, disappointments are part of life and these things are for sure for kids to work out. I'm glad we're going to have a busy few days with sports and other plans to give space to move on. I mostly just hope he can communicate and get support when clearly upset.

DS handed out candy to the big barrage of early little kids who came by, then went out and came home tired with a huge candy haul (and so sweaty bc it was so warm out). [/quote]

When a “single rider” comes to our door, we do a HUGE handful of candy. Sure they may hit a lot of houses, but they also may only have nerve or interest to go to a few on their own so we try to help make it a big haul to look at when they get home. [/quote]

Same! We actually always have multiple tween and teen solo boys at our house but I never thought about it until I read this thread. In case someone searches for advice in the future, I want them to know that I never thought or assumed anything negative about the solo kids. My only thought was one kid=gets more candy.

I have a DD who is a little younger but I want to compliment the thoughtful parents on this thread who are giving good advice for us who are in the early stages of socializing get more complicated. Her group could have really benefited from a slightly older kid to help them plan their route and watch the time. If a 13 year old boy or girl had come over after school without plans and asked if they could be the responsible big kid in DD’s group (or had their parents help ask), DD and her friends would have jumped at the offer.[/quote]
