Во сколько лет разрешать ребенку самому строить планы с друзьями? Опыт и советы

When do you start letting your kids make their own plans?

I know like 95% of the friends that my oldest hangs out with (especially the ones that she sees outside of school). She's almost 10.5 and I recently told her that if she wanted to start doing things on the weekends with her friends that was fine. Just try to make plans by Wednesday or Thursday so I can reach out to the parents and confirm. She's been sitting at home with nothing to do and I just feel bad but at the same time I want her to get confident to make her own plans since middle school is around the corner. Maybe ten is too young though and I still need to schedule "playdates" for her.

I wouldn’t mind if my 10 year old made plans. I would prefer to be the driver—AKA chauffeur. However mine doesn’t and I still have to initiate play dates with parents. He’s a homebody.

I have a 13yr old. Kiddo plans with friend(s) and then I arrange the plans with parent to confirm and be the damn uber driver as needed🫠

I don't mind being the Uber driver and unfortunately I'm used to it since I'm one of the only stay home moms amongst her friends.

I'll let her make plans here and there but I'll really let her take the rains in middle school I guess..

@massgirl, Thats awesome. All of kiddo’s friends and myself are working parents so it’s a juggle to figure things out. We always need an adult at least to supervise kids. Sometimes it is the young adult sibling that volunteers.

@mazzarella, hehehehehhe me too. But there are days kiddo plans a hangout over phone chats lol. At least I do not have to drive or rearrange pickups and work schedules.
It gives myself free time to work on things or have reading time.
Yeah, these days we do not do a lot together like when kiddo was younger. I guess we slowly become uncool as parents over time🫠
