How often does your child(ren) socialize? - Page 2

My ds plays with other kids only about once a week, sometimes once every two weeks.

4 or 5 times a week. We have a regular play group we get together with twice a week, and he loves seeing his friends to play with at church. Then we are at the park a few times a week.

My DS is very social with kids and adults alike. We could be at the bank and he'll start a conversation with an adult. As far as doing things with other kids, we do a lot. He does Rock Climbing, Soccer, Swimming and a Mom's day out.

Rock Climbing & Swimming we do together with other kids. Soccer I'm on the sidelines but he is in there with 10other kids. Mom's Day out is all morning one day a week.

These events help keep my sanity as well. Swimming, soccer and rock climbing all happen at around 10:30 AM so we finish, have lunch, and then my DS (age 3 1/2) is ready for a nap. On non event days he's not tired enough to nap. So appreciate the 2 hour nap time

This summer, however, we are going to streamline events to 2 days a week so we can enjoy our yard, gardening, and bike riding.

It's so funny- DH and I were just discussing how we'd like to give dd more opportunities to play with other kids! Lately the weather has been bad and we are getting ready to move, so dd has only been socializing twice a week, but we are hoping to increase this number in the next few weeks....I say "we" because DH is a SAHD and he needs a gentle push to get out and involved with other parents. He finds it difficult because he is usually the only dad, but he's trying

Your posts have given me the push I need. Off to call the library about story time

Either 4 or 5 days a week. DD goes to Montessori school 3 mornings a week and then we usually have playdates on the other 2 mornings. Sometimes I think DD needs more alone time but *I* need the company otherwise I go nuts. -I only see people those 2 days a week, I WAH the other 3.

Very rarely for my 16 month old. I'm going to try and take him to the park once a week, and that's a huge improvement.
I'm a SAHM, no other small kids in my DH's family, no friends in town and the local mom's group didn't work out. Library story time falls right in my DS's morning nap.
Pretty much we shop, have a family dinner with DH's family once a week and walk around the neighbourhood everyday.
I plan to homeschool too, so I guess I need to figure out how to get my poor boy some friends!

Ds (2 yo) sees others kids at church and we have been attending a playgroup at a Waldorf school once a week. So that's only twice a week he is around other kids, but he never interacts with them anyway. So far, he doesn't pay any attention to the other kids except to gather up his toys and move away from them if they get too close (that way they can't take anything from him ). We only have one car, so ds and I stay home all day (except for a walk when the weather is nice, which it hasn't been for a few months), and that works for us. Dh and I are pretty introverted, and I think ds is too.
