My daughter is 4 y/o and plays with our neighbors kids. They're 7 and 12 y/o soft boys. But these kids that are 8 and 11 y/o come from down the block by themselves and start playing with our kids. Now the problem is that I don't know them and the kids cross the street by themselves and almost got hit by a car. Where are their parents? How do I go about telling them they have to go home? Again, they're little kids. I just don't know them or their parents. And I don't want them to go tell their parents where they are cause I don't want them to think its ok to report and come back. I DON'T KNOW EM

Clearly the 8 & 11 want to play with the 7 & 12, not with your 4 year old daughter. That's the real problem. When I was 7, 8 11, & 12 I did not want to play with a 4 y/o and I'm a girl LET ALONE A BOY.

I simply tell them they cannot play at my house unless I know it is alright with their parent.Then I tell them the parent has to come to my house to meet me or they can't come back.By no means do I want to be the neighborhood sitter.Some I have had trouble with I simply told them they could not come back because of their behavior.Explain to the parent that your child is only 4 and you would like her to play with kids her own age.I also go find the parent and let them know that because they were not watching their kid they almost got hit by a car.Make the parents accountable for their own children.

If you really don't want them there, then just tell them that they need to go home to play. Explaine that your daughter is only 4 and they need to find kids their own age to play with.
Don't feel bad. As long as you're nice about how you say it nobodys feelings will get hurt.
They really DO need to find kids their own age to hang out with. What on earth could a 4 year old girl do that would be considered fun for boys that age?

Just be up front and tell them you don't want them to come over. A 4 y/o should not be playing with kids this age if you don't know them or their parents. You don't have to be mean or yell at them, just firm.

the infants on the telephone are prank callers. Alarms going off are universal. digital kit, almost all of it, is geared up to settle for transmissions, and you're able to be able to nicely be getting interference from a revealed -- in line with hazard a scheduled broadcast, or an digital gadget that's desperate to instruct on at a particular time is inflicting an interference. you're able to attempt switching from a valid gadget to a normal motorized fan. Ghosts may be the final element on my innovations. no longer something paranormal has ever been shown to exist. in certainty, for various years James Randi has presented $a million million to each physique who can instruct the existence of any paranormal entity or ability, and no-one has come even close to to claiming the prize.

Tell them exactly that. Say, "I'm sorry, but I need to talk to your parents before you join us in playing. I just want to make sure they know where you are", If they try to convince you that they already know, then say "I'm glad they do, but I'd like to talk to them to be sure." Then just explain that parents are like a group that works together and look out for each others kids. Maybe the parents do know, but it can't hurt to make sure. You'd want someone to do the same with your child I'm sure. Plus, these days it can't hurt to know exactly who your daughter spends her time with.

You say something like....."sweetie my children are very young and they can't play the same games you can so it would be better if you didn't come over to play with them anymore."
Of course since they're children telling them this once will not be enough.....and the rule has to apply to all the children older than your daughter.

Ask them where they live and if their parents know where they are. Tell them that you'd like to meet their parents and make sure it's okay for them to be at your house.
When you meet the parents, if you really don't want to kids there, you need to explain to them that their kids are doing some unsafe things (like running out in the road) and you don't want your 4-year-old copying them.
Good luck!
