How much socialising for 16m old?

[newmums2016]

Sorry if I keep starting new threads, I've no one else to ask!
Saw the health visitor recently and she said DD would benefit from going to classes/groups with other kiddies so I've just started to take her to Rhyme Time at our library one day a week. Is once a week enough or should I find something else? Our child services provider have just cut a lot of groups so I'll have to look online for others if 1 not enough

I felt at that age it was more about me getting out the house and socialising to be honest. So we did something almost every day just to save my sanity. It's entity up to you really.

We where lucky and had a good few childrens groups with the local children's centres. But I also went to a few toddler groups run by different community centres or Church groups (you don't have to belong to the church to go) Which normally cost a couple of pounds to go and often do a snack time, plus tea and biscuits for mums. I like this as I got to talk to other adults and DC learned to eat snacks at tables with other children/help tidy up at the end.

We did swimming to bit that was my choice, it's good to get them water confidant bit they don't really need to start classes before about 3 or 4 as they don't generally have the coordination before then.

I agree with the pp - I also believe it's more about getting out and about, and having new experiences.

DD and I go to one toddler group a week, but go out most days to places such as - the library, feeding the ducks, nature walks, the park, etc. DD is a very social little girl, and just enjoys seeing new people. She does enjoy toddler group, but just does her own thing and doesn't really 'play' with the other children, so I don't believe we need to go to similar groups every day.

Ah thank you for your replies. My DD doesn't really play with the others either she just watches them or plays on her own. HV suggested it because when we're in a crowd of people she doesn't know, if we start laughing she just bursts into tears! I guess that's just something she'll grow out of
