Is it okay to have your child sleep in your bed at age 10?

I won't say its okay.I will say it is not at all necessary. In this way you are spoiling your child.This might become a habit and then you wouldn't be able to stop your child after the age of 10.I am saying this from my personal experience.

I would say that if there were a special occasion where the child slept in your room it would be ok, but not on a daily basis. Children need to learn to sleep in their own rooms. The parents also need their privacy. I feel that the parents bed should be for the parents as the children have their own beds. If we are watching a movie in our room, then I would allow my child to sleep in our bed. I must say that in the middle of the night I always move them into their own room.

No, idont like sleeping my grown up kids with me unless and untill they are afraid of sleeping alone in asome instances and that to very rare because i like privacy in my bedroom and it is even good for the children to maintain privacy in their bed rooms too,what i belive.

My older kids will sometimes come and lie on the bed to talk to me. I think the semi darkness helps them to talk more openly than sitting face to face (they are 15 and 12, most of the talks are the usual teenage stuff), my 9 year old comes to sleep with me during thunderstorms and typhoons, which is only natural and my five year sleeps next to my bed. Sometimes kids just need to know that they are loved and when they are frightened that there is somebody who will help them. dreamjapan

My dughter slept with me everyday until she was 4, my first son till 5 and a 1/2. Every now and then if they are scared and come into my bed while I am sleeping I will let them stay. Jessica is 11 almost 12 and hasn't wanted to sleep with me since she was 8 and it has been a while since Clayton (8) has come in either. Colton is 6 and sometimes he will come into my bed at night when he is scared. I agree with you to let them have a bed and a place their own to give them that choice to go there. I basically let them stay until they didn't want to anymore. Only disadvantage I think is maybe at age ten 10 they should want to start having more independence. But do what feels right to you. You are a loving and caring parent that knows what is best for your child. :)
