DS is 10. We’ve had a lovely summer. I’m very lucky to have a decent sized pool of friends who’s kids DS plays with. DS also has a small handful of friends that I can call on for company. However, I do all the organisation. I plan something with someone every day and for the days it’s just the 2 of us we do something like cinema or baking/film at home/gaming etc.
I think I’ve got 1 summer like this left and then once they hit secondary school you have to take a back seat and let them plan their own social life.
I’m wondering if getting a dog would help during the teen years. Would it encourage DS to get out and about (with or without me).
Any experience?
