How to help kids to make new friends

While some of the people we meet while travelling might be more about the fun than friends for life, making new acquaintances can be very rewarding. Sometimes you meet people which become good friends, maybe we are not able to meet quite often but you can stay in touch with them through mails and phone calls and messages. And it help kids to make new friends

Spending your holiday in a rental house or a swanky hotel may not give you and your children the same opportunities to meet new friends as perhaps around a resort pool, in the kids play area or BBQ area or while camping. So choose your venue carefully with the kids in mind. Find a campsite with kid friendly play areas with giant inflatable pillows or The Funpad like play areas.

In School holidays we can send the kids to School incursions or holiday programme  in your neighbourhood, can help kids to make new friends from neighbourhood, which will be helpful for them to have friends around.

Someone moved in your neighbourhood, and they have children of your kids age, you can invite them for dinner or on your kid’s birthday party. Where the kids can be comfortable and mingle fast while enjoying.

 Amazing outdoor parties with friends

 Do however; check out potential new friends thoroughly from a distance before jumping in to ask them around for dinner. The kids might get along swimmingly, but Mum might never stop talking and Dad might like a beer or 10. Once you befriend another family you might find it harder than you think to avoid them if you decide they are not really your type. Maybe, help the kids make new friends first, while you suss out the parents.

We once invited a couple to afternoon drinks when our children became friends with theirs. They left at 2:30 in the morning and we were left with an empty fridge. We politely declined when they asked if we were up for a repeat performance the next day. Tip: don’t befriend anyone who carries a personalised stubby holder in his or her back pocket!

Don’t worry if your friendship does continue after the hotel checkout or the campsite. For better or worse you and your children’s lives have been enriched by the experience. Perhaps invite your newfound friends to exchange details and contact them if they are ever in your neck of the woods, and leave it at that.

The children might be broken hearted temporarily, but remind them that a new BFF could be as close as the next campsite or the next holiday.
