How to help my child on playdates

[Fionastaffs]

My 6yo daughter always seems to have a bit of a falling out on playdates. Nothing major but always a little disagreement somewhere along the line whoever it's with. Maybe this is normal?

Any ideas how I can help her to have more successful playdates? Tia!

What sort of falling out are we talking about? Some level of disagreement is to be expected as they may not want to play the same games etc but that’s all part of learning to negotiate with each other/compromise.

I’ve had play dates where by the end both kids were playing separately at opposite ends of the room but both happy out.

Maybe keep them short if she is struggling a little ? But I’d say it’s normal enough

At that age keep playdates short, put special toys out of reach, feed them at the start of the playdate, and get them outdoors a bit if possible.
