Does anyone else get anxious when other kids come to play? DS will start kindergarten in the summer and the little girl from the apartment downstairs will be in his class. They have recently discovered each other and now have spontaneous play dates, where one knocks for the other, about 3 times a week. Whilst I love it for DS that he has someone his age to play with (DSS comes EOW but is 8 years older) and is getting to know a classmate in advance of starting school, I get so anxious during these play dates, and I’m not generally a very anxious person.
they tend to play quite boisterously and make quite a huge mess, which is nice in some ways because DS doesn’t play in his room much on his own. I think it’s just because the house is usually so quiet, I’m sure it’s pretty normal if you have more than one child, and I’m just not used to it. Any advice on how to chill out, I don’t want to be a nervous wreck for the next 10 years! And I want DS to feel relaxed when his friends come to play.
