Re: What age for the first sleepover?

I never allowed it. I just never felt comfortable. Thankfully my son never made an issue out of it. My mom didn’t allow it either when we were growing up.

Re: What age for the first sleepover?

The best age for the first sleepover depends on the maturity & disposition of the child. I've seen children as young as your DG do just fine, yet I've also seen 8 year olds lose it and have to be picked up by their parents. One time a child who was a regular sleepover guest had a melt down and went home. It's ok, not earth shattering, some children just need a reassuring hug from mom or dad & nobody else will do for whatever reason.
