If the parent said it's okay, would clarify if this is a few kids or just your son. I'd let him stay for just an hour in the beginning, then ramp up to two hours. If he was not coming home with homework done it would not go past two hours.

I would remind him to follow appropriate behavior even though the parent isn't there. No jumping on furniture, eating outside of the kitchen, if he makes a mess clean it up, etc.


Jumping in the furniture and making a food mess are not the concerns you should have with u supervised 7th graders. They are into much bigger things.


As someone who HAS had and currently DOES have a seventh grader, it really depends on the child. [/quote


Sorry but no way is jumping on furniture what you should be worried about.....
