What is healthy? My child always begging for friends to come over … what’s a fair system that stops this neediness and fulfills the need? She is 8 yo. Would love for her to find other ways to entertain herself and I think this need is getting in the way!
(No neighbors immediately her age that she wants to play with and there’s no way I’m driving her around .. so we would need to keep asking families to send their kids to come play)
I was thinking every other day is maybe fair but want to put a stop to the nagging begging requests HELP
WHAT DO YOU DO?

Maybe make a system with three passes. You can print them out, laminate them if you want. She can use a pass whenever she wants during the week, but once they're finished, there are no more playdates that week. She gets all passes back on Sunday.

We only do play dates on shabbos afternoon) she sees friends all day at school and soon at camp. Shabbos morning she’s in shul with her friends too and Sundays are family time)

I tell my kids I don't have energy to shlep around during the week. If they want a playdate we arrange it a day or 2 prior and it's straight from school. Then I only need to do pick up if it's at someone else's house. I'm really game most days, but my kids need to plan it in advance.
Because they need to be proactive, they often forget and it happens less than they want.
One daughter's friend's mother works in the school. So her playdates are more spontaneous. The mother would often offer her to come over (or send her daughter to me) at dismissal.
