Ignore it?

you’ve spoken to the parents and the child keep knocking? How old are they?

I assume said child lives locally.... knows you have a child and knows he's too unwell to play out and wants to do a nice thing?

MotherOfDragon20 · 20/04/2024 12:56

Is there a particular reason you don’t want them to be friends? If your son is too young or too unwell to play outside could you suggest a play date inside or in the garden with supervision?

@Billyboyman it might stop because the child might get bored eventually.
It's a shame you don't want to encourage the friendship though. Do they go to the same school?

check the area first then say dont know why people are attacking me i asked for some advice!!

OP posts:

@Billyboyman the advice is either ignore the child knocking
or
let the children become friends (they don't have to play outside in the streets).
It is likely they are at the same school and know each other already. Is your child allowed other friends from school?
