Good age for sleepovers?

I think as long as you know the parent then 6 years is an ok age he is old enough to let the other parent know if he is unwell or needs you so as long as you know they will be safe with the parent then I think its fine. Maybe allow him to choose one friend for a sleepover and then have a talk with the childs mother see if she will allow it I think I would be happy with that as a mother as long as there wasnt too many children that the parent supervising the sleepover couldnt cope but maybe im over protective lol!

My girl who is 10 love sleepovers too.She started at around 7 when she start going to primary school,she feel she big girl and can stay away from us for a longer period of time.Her cousins two boys one 10 and 8 also started sleepover with my girl 3 years ago,so i think boys and girls all enjoy this type of experiences.

Six is probably a good age, but keep the number of kids to a minimum. I would just make sure that you have plenty of kids movies and random activities on hand just in case they get “bored”

I think it depends on how well you know the other family. My oldest daughter has been doing sleepovers at her best friend's house since she was four and her friend was 5. She is almost 8 now and her friend is almost 9 and they spend almost every weekend together (like the whole weekend) and she even goes on vacation with them for over a week in the summer. My other kids don't have any friends like that. They just have kids in the neighborhood they play with and I would never let them sleep over at those people's houses because I barely know them. The people next door I've known most of my life (about 20 years) so I trust them like my own family.

My son really enjoys going over to a friends house to spend the night. He is nine now but we let him start sleeping over at friends house when he was seven. We started with friends that live close like neighbors and as we all felt more comfortable with it he has stayed a little further away from home.
