what is a playdate?
Answers:
A playdate is a time for you and your child to meet other moms and their kids so that your kids can play together and you can socialize with other adults. You'll need to supervise your child so no, you can't go off and do other things. That'll be like having someone babysit your child, not a playdate.

It is a scheduled time for a child to play with a friend/friends. The sole purpose of the time is play.
it's a date that parents get their kids together in one place to play.
When you make a date for you kid to play with someone else kid. (Park, house, Chuck E Cheese)
This is where you set up a time and place for your toddlers to play with your friend's toddler. Sometimes, people also have playdates for their dogs, where one dog comes over the other house to run around the backyard with the dog that lives there.
When parents set up their kids to hang and play together. However don't use this term when talking to the kids in question cause it is extremely embarrassing.
How involved you are with the playdate depends on how old your child is. They're usually more fun for all involved when the kids are toddlers at the age when they interact with each other.
Whether or not you use the time to do something on your own depends on who the playdate is with, how comfortable your child is with them, and if you'd be willing to reciprocate. If my daughter has a playdate with a classmate whose parents I don't know well, I stay. If it's with old friends, I'll leave her while I go out, always trading off and watching their kid at another time.
A play date is an orginal idea of getting your children together in a supervised area to have fun and expierence new things. The other purpose is to provide the adults a line of communication in regards to the children and also build support networks of parents that have children the same age. This is a great resource when your child is expierencing something new, make a few phone calls and find out if their child is/has gone through it too.
