My dd would love to host or attend a party every week. This is a shock to the system for my dh and myself as we both are reserved people. She's in K. I'm afraid of what I am in for during hs.
So, how often do your elementary school kids want to get together with large groups of friends and family?
birthdays, class parties, and holidays(family only).
Also, a group of us decided no slumber parties for many reasons. one M. does birthday slumber parties only.
depends on what you consider a party...
My kids consider having two friends over for a sleepover a party.
Since she is in Kindergarten, she's what 5? And I don't know her personally - what does she consider as a party? It makes it hard to answer the question. If your daughter is a social butterfly - then set some rules - she can have 2 people over once a month...
ask what her expectations are -
* what does she expect to do at the party
* how many people and is she serving food?
* Does she realize the cost of hosting a party?
My kids are busy almost every weekend - between Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and friends. Right now I have 4 boys in the family room and everyone is laughing and having fun....for my kids - it's a party!!
Large groups? For me - that's 10 or more people. Those are for birthday parties and other annual events.
Having a couple of friends over to play once a week or so is not a party. Its a play group, or just friends coming over to play. How large of a group are you talking about? A child in Kindergarten doesnt need a "party" every week. A play group or a couple friends is different.
