Quote From: jadamsI am a preschool teacher and my roommate and I often babysit for the children at our center. We have organized several sleepovers in which the parent's bring their children to our house and they spend the night. The children bring sleeping bags and we have a little slumber party.
The kids are 3, but we have had them as young as late 2's. When discussing this with a small group oif people, they said that they would never allow their children to stary with someone overnight at such a young age. What are your thoughts?
I dont think children under 7 should be having sleep overs with friends. Certainly not at 2 years old. On the other hand, I think it really depends on the child and his or her level of comfort towards the family and friends she will be sleeping over with. But at the same token I would be curious about the parent who would let their child/children go before that age. So in short, as a parent because of the worries I would have I would not allow sleep overs before 7 no matter what my child/children wanted.
