How do you cultivate curiosity when your kids ask questions? Be curious as well!:
🌟 What made you curious about that?
🌟 I wonder about that, too!
🌟 How do you think we can find out?
🌟 Where do you think we can learn about that?
🌟 What do you think might be happening?

Be inquisitive! Your response doesn't have to be a solution.

Dropping your child off at another family's home brings up a host of questions:
👉🏿 Is there something I should talk to my child about beforehand?
👉🏿 Should I ask the playdate-child's adults anything in particular ahead of time?

🌟What are the things important to YOU when dropping your kiddo off on a playdate?

Ideally, before your child does a drop-off playdate, you know the caregivers personally and you and your child have spent social time at each other's homes already. But in the absence of that, it makes sense and is good practice to have some due diligence questions at the ready.

Ask the adults in charge about:
👉🏿 the presence of a gun in the home and how it's secured
👉🏿 the presence/security of prescription medication
👉🏿 unsupervised internet/screen/TV access
👉🏿 what adults will be present in the home at the same time as your child

If the answers make you in any way uncomfortable, you can tell the parents something like:
"Thanks so much for your honesty - I respect the choices you make in your home. But I don't feel comfortable sending my child unaccompanied to your home if [there's a gun in the house/unsupervised screen time]."
The parent is allowed to be offended, and you're still allowed to hold that boundary!

In addition, before drop off playdates, remind your child about:
👉🏿 manners that are important to you & how to be a respectful guest
👉🏿 the reality of different rules/practices in different homes
👉🏿 the fact that they can ask the adults present to call you/ask you to pick them up at any time, for any reason

This school year, reduce tension at home by embracing collaboration.

Raising Human Beings encourages parents to embrace acceptance and collaboration, which can ease the pressure on both you and your child. It’s a practical, compassionate guide to creating more connection and reducing conflict.
