Play dates feel harder now that we don't always know other kids' parents like we did in the past, but we can still make them work with a simple plan and a little courage. We share how we can set play dates up well so our children can build friendships safely. 
• why play dates feel more complicated today and why they are still worth it 
• questions we ask our child at home to understand the friendship 
• how we balance compassion with trusting our child’s gut 
• why we prefer hosting first, keeping kids in sight, and skipping screens 
• using a safe phrase for our child and a separate safe phrase for us to end early 
• benefits of play dates for social skills, sharing, and problem solving
