[quote=Anonymous]I’m a very hands off parents and I think it’s weird to insist on drop off parties at this age. Lots of kids aren’t ready for that until 1st grade. I think most aren’t ready in preschool. And it’s a handful. I had a party for my kids 5th (in preschool) and to my surprise almost no one stayed — everyone had an older kid they needed to take to soccer or whatever. It was a lot! For Pp, you don’t have to feed or entertain a parent in this situation. Just let them stand there for 90 minutes and watch the kids or surf their phone. If the kid gets upset and starts crying you’ll be glad they are there. I’ve also done a lot of work with scouts and IME it’s touch and go for a lot of kids even in K. If they say they want their parent there, my rule was to let the parent stay at that age. By 1st, I start to encourage the parents not to be so available.[/quote]
