How to organise a successful play date for your Child
When you are new to the whole play date thing it can be a little hard to know where to start
. You may be nervous about sending your child to a stranger's home, or inviting a stranger in to your home. A good place to start might be to arrange to meet your child's new friend (and there parent) at a neutral location, such as a park or playground. This way neither of you need to worry about sending there child to a home they are not familiar with.If possible start by introducing yourself to the parent of your child's new friend. Always best to do this in person if possible. This gives them a chance to meet you. If you aren't able to do it in person, try calling them or sending a note home in the child's bag. Be clear with your invitation and advise them when, where, how long, transport and who will be supervising.
You can always invite the parent to stay for a coffee and let the children have a short play in the getting to know each other stage. Over time you can progress to longer visits once everyone is comfortable with each other.
You should get an ID bracelet for your child in case they are lost or injured while in someone else's care. This is particularly important if they have an allergy or medical condition. You can purchase a bracelet online at www.id4u.com.au .
When you have a child over to your home to play be sure and show them around and tell them where they can play, where the bathroom is and where you would like them not to play. If you have a dog or cat make sure know how they should be treated. Perhaps your pet might be better left in another room at first.
Arrange some age appropriate activities for the kids and make sure you have time to supervise them properly.
If your child is going to someone else's house to play be sure and talk to them about keeping safe and calling you if they don't feel comfortable. Give them an excuse to leave just in case. By this I mean ask them to call home and say "my tummy feels sore" and you will know this means they want to leave.
Don't forget to ask child's parents if they have any allergies or conditions you should know about before they leave. Get a contact number for emergencies and give them your number. Be sure to arrange a pick time.
