The first weeks after giving birth, a young mother protects her baby so much that intuitively limits contacts with relatives and friends. As a result, after a while the woman finds herself in a kind of vacuum. Attempts to regain the old relationship fail. Rapprochement occurs only with those who have children. Childless friends are not always ready to listen to your baby's achievements. Don't judge them harshly, look for other points of contact with them. And don't be sad!
With the advent of your baby, you will have a unique chance to make new friends. Only now you will not meet in a cafe, but in a sandbox or at a party. We advise you not to delay with the latter and announce the first collection. In your home!
Coming up with ideas
The warm atmosphere of a friendly meeting in winter is more relevant than ever. An experiment with a new recipe for a pie and tasting a new type of tea can become a reason for an invitation. The beauty of the meeting is that it is an opportunity for children to play together, explore new toys. And, one way or another, they will give you an hour to talk (of course, you will look out for conflict situations). To do this, the kids need to know each other. But if you invite an old friend with a toddler, and your children have not seen each other, it is also not a problem: kids find a common language even faster than adults.
Cooking baby
According to the rules of hospitality, you need to prepare a house and treats to make your friends feel good. Connect the baby to this. Discuss the question of toys. Warn that other children will use his cars, dolls, pencils and even utensils. Promise to always intervene in conflicts and protect his interests. And, of course, keep your promise. Although, if you offer the children an interesting program, you will constantly channel their energy into a peaceful channel, no problems arise.
Learning delicacy
Sometimes it happens that your friend is adhering to a method of parenting that is alien to you. As a result, you get angry trying to reason with her. Or, on the contrary, your little one annoys her, or the kids did not share something. Well, take a lesson from this. Just because a close friend of yours turns out to be "not a very good mom" does not mean that the friendship is over. It's just that from now on and forever you will meet without children. And the friendship will only grow stronger.
Coming up with activities
True friends never run out of topics for communication and will always find something to do, and together with the kids. Puppet theater, reading fairy tales in roles, board games, treasure hunt … We hope your guests, leaving, will say: “It was great! When will we get together again? This is a success!
Games for companies
It's great if your kid is a real ringleader. But not all children can be the instigators of play. Help the little one - invite the little guests to the nursery and show them the toys. And, of course, prepare your inventory for games in advance.
"Sports competition". Bowling, table football, hide and seek and dominoes will be welcomed with great enthusiasm by children of all ages. Briefly explain the rules and make sure that no one breaks them or cheats.
"Young Builder". Kids will always find a use for building blocks. Invite them to build the tallest tower or a house for small toys (for example, from under a kinder surprise), a defense structure for soldiers. The girls will be very interested in rearranging the dollhouse and equipping it.
"Shalash". Plastic, cardboard, linen … Any house is a hit for kids. They will instantly start a game, visit each other, place soft animals in the hut. There will be a hospital, a canteen, and a kindergarten.
