[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is having a sleepover for her 8th birthday.  It was totally her idea and I warned her that not everyone (whether girls or parents) are comfortable with sleepovers.  She understands so I let her have it.  I e-mailed all the parents of the invited girls, separately from the actual invitation, and said if anyone isn't comfortable or doesnt do sleepovers, they should plan on picking up at 9 when the movie is over.  About a third chose this option which is about what I expected.  I let my DD go to sleepovers with families I know well but, I also respect other people's choices.  [b]Some kids are not emotionally ready for sleepovers[/b], some parents are not comfortable with the idea (for many reasons as listed above) and it is what it is.    [/quote]

I'm not quibbling with this PP since she isn't arguing that she does this but: What does it mean to be "emotionally ready" for a sleepover?  Don't kids learn to handle things emotionally by doing them? [/quote]
