[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate pladmates and only arrange them because DC begs. Always thought it unnecessary because he sees these kids at school 5 days/week but during a period when he was having trouble staying focused his teacher told me that play dates can be a way of heading that off.[/quote] Seeing kids at school is not the same has having a couple relaxed hours to play together. There is very little play time at school. It's beneficial for kids to have time to figure out what to do together, negotiate the details, be creative, have fun. The equivalent to me is that I have some coworkers who are friends. We chat throughout the day and often have a quick lunch together but it's not the same as going out for Happy Hour or spending a couple hours on a Sunday afternoon playing tennis. [/quote]
