You idea for other kids to play with the toys for a bit is good. What's the best way to handle such situations without coming across as rude or a complaining parent? Have the others leave and just set up again. I've had to intervene sometimes by just being blunt: Excuse me, but these are for the guests of the party or just Alright, times up! My son and his friends need to play or just simply saying "Time's up!" Pack up. Or the kids get rough with the toy and I have to tell them to not do that if they'd like to play (but gets ignored, even if you tell their parents). Often, protective parents start "monitoring" that kids pratice fair use (read, their kid gets a fair use) and kids come running to me saying that they aren't able to play since "others" are not leaving it. They either just don't budge and keep taking videos of their kids and continue to take up everyone's time. You can play with it for a few minutes now, but you'll have to give it up to them (my son and his friends) once we say so.įor the past few times, it seems parents blatantly ignore the above request. OR to the kid directly, with their parents listening: Your kid is welcome to try it out or play with it for a bit, but we have guests for who it's intended There are quite a few kids who look at longingly and want to come over (or some just assume they can). Quite often we go to the park, or host a party and we have a few things like Stomp Rockets or Jumpers or other such things/toys.
