how to say no to a kid who wants to come over for a sleepover nicely

[Anonymous]

a girl in ds's class want to come over to have a sleepover . they are in junior kindergarten. for a couple of reasons I am not ready for a sleepover for ds (who is not 5 yet . mostof his friends from preschool -junior kidergarten are turning 6). but how do I say that in a nice way so it won't hurt the kid and parents feeling.
also, did anyone's kid ever done the mix sleepover? I thought sleepover is usually for all boys or all girls? even though for this young age, they don't really care.

If they're inviting themselves to your house, it seems easy to simply say, "No thank you. We don't do sleepovers yet." It seems odd that they'd be inviting themselves over!

There was a sleepover thread, or slumber party. Look it up, it was interesting.

Why is it odd? Kids think sleepovers are fun! They're picturing watching movies, eating popcorn and hanging out with their friend, whether it's a boy or girl.

We do sleepovers with 2 of my dd's friends (1 boy, 1 girl). They are almost 5. It's been a lot of fun. We know the families very well, get to give each other a break and they just love it. If you don't know the child and family, I would feel cautious as well.
