What do your 10/11 DD'sdo when then have a friend over for a play date ?

[josben]

DD has got her pal over and all they seem to want to do is watch you tube videos !

I've got them playing outside on scooters now ... IABU?

[Melissa980]

If they're having fun then let them have fun don't make them go outside

[Bloosh]

Given the choice mine would play on her iPad while her friends play on their phones. Baking is usually the best way to get them off screens.

Make slime. And then do musicallys. And then more slime. And repeat.

[NatalieRushman]

Bake, make slime, ipad, paint nails. In that order.

What are musicallys?

[UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter]

Dd is 11 and has a friend over (12) and they are sat in the conservatory watching you tube and playing Spotify.

They did go to the park, 5 minutes away but came back because it's raining.

At that age I just leave them to it calling them down for food if the friend is staying over a meal time.

I've walked into the room a few times to find them all sitting down, glued to their tablets/phones barely speaking to each other. I think its normal these days. Sometimes they'll all go on Xbox or PlayStation or just watch YouTube, musicaly etc.

Earlybird like a younger kids vine sort of. Short clips of them doing something to music or a pre recorded script, they either mouth along while acting things out or dance, pose, gymnastics or trampoline if they're into that, just anything really.

Musicallys are a lip sync video program. They do the movements to a short (30 second) song. They post, follow and comment on each other's.

Pleeeez be careful of music.ly and live.ly apps! Ch4 just showed at least half are watched by Paedos posing as children. They studied them for 2 weeks and found no end of commenters asking them to dance certain way/show knickers etc.

You know you can set your child's account to be private, waitforrose?
