[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids will choose playing with us at the playground over playing with other kids everytime. So we play with them sometimes and other times say you have to play with other kids.

My kids are not good at getting started at playing with other kids. We practice things they can say and do to make it easier. But at the same time, they come to the playground to have a good time. We don't force it. So sometimes they just play by themselves (when we say no but they don't want to play with other kids). And that's fine too.

Occasionally they have a great time playing with other kids. And that's great too.

Kids are 4 and 7. As long as they're getting some good physical playing in, I'm happy. And all the better when I get to sit on the bench and read a book.

We, their parents, are not particularly social people. At a party, I'm absolutely going to spend the majority of the time talking to my spouse. Cats don't have dogs... [/quote]

+1. My kids are 4, 22 months, and infant. I just want them to have a good time at the playground. If I need to help facilitate I will. Most of the time my 4 year old is doing the monkey bars, swinging, or climbing and my toddler is swinging or on the slide. I’m trying to prevent injuries more than anything else. [/quote]
