Once LO1 is in preschool on her own I'll focus on more friends just for LO2. Like you, we have a few similar spaced sibling pairs, but not many. </p> <p>Sometimes it works well to play with one child who age-wise is right between the two girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-youngest-play-more-with-their-own-friends-or-with-their-older-siblings-friends#post-2120939 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 08:33:43 +0000 autumnlove 2120939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Older sibling's friends. I need to make more play dates for LO 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-youngest-play-more-with-their-own-friends-or-with-their-older-siblings-friends#post-2120473 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 18:43:54 +0000 chopsuey 2120473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of my closest friends have kids the same age as both of mine! so DS plays with kids his own age--all girls though. :)<br /> I need to find some boys his age that he can play with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-youngest-play-more-with-their-own-friends-or-with-their-older-siblings-friends#post-2119722 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:53:14 +0000 mrbee 2119722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our youngest is such a trooper, and is always down to play with her brother's friends! Sine they went to the same daycare for a year, she actually knows a lot of his old daycare friends really well.</p> <p>But now that she's going to her own preschool, we've been making a bigger effort to give her opportunities to have playdates with her own friends. It's harder since she wants to play with her brother's older friends more than our eldest wants to play with her younger friends! But we have some friends with two kids with a similar age gap, and that's made it a bit easier logistically. Still, it's something we're working on - just to be fair to her!</p> <p>Does your youngest play more with their own friends, or with their older sibling's friends? </p>
