If your child has been invited to a sleepover and you are unsure if he/she is ready, here are a few pointers to consider.
- Is your child independent enough to tie shoes, cut own food, make bed, etc.?
- Is your child vocal enough to ask for something she needs or express her feelings?
- Is he comfortable with the friend's parents?
If you answer yes to all the above, your child should be ready to try a sleepover, but be sure to be at home, and assure him you will come get him if he phones you anytime during the night.
