Should you discipline someone else’s kid at a play date that you’re hosting? DR RICHARD C. WOOLFSON shares his thoughts.

First, The House Rules

Play dates are great for your little one because they keep him busy and happy. He gets to learn important social skills, such as sharing and turn-taking, as well.

Occasionally, some parents drop their kids off at your home and go off to run errands – you probably do this, too, when your child has a play date hosted by a trusted friend. And that’s all fine… until one of the children misbehaves.

Then you wonder what to do. Can you discipline someone else’s kid? What would his parents want you to do? How would they react when they learn you reprimanded him?

Of course, prevention is better than cure. That’s why most parents arrange for their child to have play dates only with peers whose mums and dads share similar values.
