Hi
My AS is 7.5 and we have had him 5 years. He's very popular and friendly and generally gets invited to all the birthday parties and playdates.
I'm struggling with him with playdates he is just so hyper, screams goes mad running round etc and doesn't listen we generally cut them short or when there over I am shattered with the constant stress they bring.
It's not the same if we go out but he's constantly moaning about wherever we are and much prefer friends to our house.
I'm after advice as do I completely cancel them but he will miss out over the summer, and tbh I could do with a mum friend now and again so I would miss out.
I have cancelled them, scaled them back it's just like he's a completely different child when he's doing it.
Am I expecting too much at his age to be able to participate in them?
Do I leave him at playdates on his own as that seems the norm with our class friends but I have not so far.
Any advice is welcome 🙂
