| What age do you start letting your elementary kids have sleepovers with friends? |

| Age 7. |

| Never. They only sleepover with cousins/family, not friends. |

Whatever age you are comfortable with, from 0 to never. You will get a wide range of answers here, none of which are very helpful because nobody knows your child or your particular concerns. |

Whenever they feel ready (as long as they're fully toilet trained, which in our family, means being able to go into the bathroom with a closed door, handle everything they need to do including washing hands, and come out by themselves).
One kid felt ready at 4, the other at 6, another at 7. |

| We haven't with friends yet at almost 8. There's probably 3 families that I would allow that with though if/when they ask. |

| DS was 7 for his first sleepover. He is 10 now and has sleepovers 3-4 times a year. He goes camping with his BSA Troop for a weekend every month. |

| What happens with mixed gender friends? |

My 7 year old has a gender fluid boy friend that hangs out with the girls and gets invited to sleepovers. She also has her male cousins sleep over often, but they've grown up together and don't "count" as guests at this point. |

You wouldn’t let kids sleepover who still use diapers for overnight? |
