One kid felt ready at 4, the other at 6, another at 7.


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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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