Asking Eric: Fostering your children’s social skills despite restrictive house rules

Jan 01, 2025

Dear Eric: My husband has told our kids they cannot have any friends inside of our home. They can play in the front yard and that is it. I don’t know how to tackle this, or what to say when it’s our “turn” to host our kids’ friends. I’ve been hosting the friends to movies, arcades, etc., but never in our home.
