At what age are sleepovers appropriate?
The appropriate age for sleepovers can vary depending on the child and family. Some children may be ready for sleepovers at a younger age, while others may not be ready until they are older. 
In general, sleepovers are more common and appropriate for children who are in elementary school or older, typically around the age of 8 or 9 years old.

Younger children may not be developmentally ready for sleepovers and may feel uncomfortable or anxious being away from their parents overnight. As children get older, they may become more independent and better equipped to handle the experience of a sleepover.

It’s important to consider each child’s individual needs and readiness for a sleepover. Some children may be ready earlier, while others may not be ready until they are older.

 Parents should also consider the trustworthiness of the host family, the sleeping arrangements, and any potential risks before allowing their child to participate in a sleepover.

 The decision to allow a child to attend a sleepover should be based on the individual child’s maturity and comfort level, as well as the comfort level of the parent or caregiver.
