These are with ONE other child peer and our son's baby sister, and are conducted in French. It is the same child all the time, as the rapid change and transitions with activities and materials was very difficult for a long time. Recently my husband has been adding a third child occasionally, but the dynamics are more difficult, as both children are older and tend to gravitate together to things they can do better than our son. He'll never be a floor hockey champion, but he's now very comfortable with the gym and changing routines. Pick the other child carefully in terms of both age and temperament .
Every child is one year older than our son.
The other child has more language, is more patient with fusses, is more predictable with a longer attention span, and has more interest in activities such as board games. Although they are all boys, and it would be nice to have a girl over, we presently do not have an appropriate child available. As he gets into Nursery School next fall, we will hopefully expand this to include a girl. Right now it's just his sister. No other parents, no other siblings of the Playdate child.
