How many play dates in a week?

[Ellie2015]

Hi
Just wonder how many play dates on an average do you arrange for your LOs in a week? Do people arrange more with school mates or outside school?

More like once every few weeks here. Not a weekly occurrence for us.

I don't think play dates are weekly for most families. What age of children are you talking about?

Pre covid... used to be several times a week with preschool kids.

Infant school age - once a week ish taking a kid home from school and once or twice times all go and play in park for a bit on way home.

Now junior school and recently remembered we used to do play dates. Covid has made such a difference these lats 2 years! Were now inviting around once a week afterschool but weekends seems to be party season at the moment or we often meet up with my friend out of school who has a child.

Don't plan much during a normal week... However half term got things planned with diff people each day!

DD is almost 3 and we generally do 1 a week/fortnight.

We do 1-2 a week, sometimes more. Gives me some adult conversation without the need of constant attention from my 2.5 year old.

Not even weekly. Maybe one every 2-3 weeks

In term time one or two a week on the days we don’t do activities ( primary school )
School hols a bit more . Usually drop offs. I have an only / No family , so dependant on play dates for her social life.
