My ds of 3.10 had a friend back from nursery yesterday. He was tired and flopped and lolled (though his friend was full of enthusiastic ideas for things to do )Anyway they ended up at a bit of a loose end. I did some baking with them but then left them to it. What's the best thing to do next time? Is the whole point of a playdate to learn to get along with friends without adult supervision, or should a parent expect to give 3-yr olds a a helping hand if needed? My ds does play with my 5-yr old goddaughter for hours without supervision, but he's known her forever. This was his first friend home from school.
