When a Neighbor's Kid Wants to Hang Out

So, a few days ago, my 7-year-old neighbor rang my doorbell and sweetly asked if he could come in and play. I hesitated because, honestly, I didn’t feel comfortable letting him in without his parents knowing first. So I gently told him no, explaining that it wasn't a good time. Now, I'm wondering if I did the right thing. Am I just being overly cautious, or should I have let him stay for a while? These things can be so tricky to navigate! #Boundaries #NeighborlyDilemma #TrustIssues
