My dd has been invited to a friend's house for a play and sleepover, they are both 7. We've had this friend for a sleepover at ours and they get on really well and play very nicely together. The problem is dd's friend is allowed to play out on the street where they live. There are a few other children from dd's class who mostly all play out there. My dd has never played out. We live on a main road but even if we didn't I'm just not comfortable with her playing out on the street. It's a cul-de-sac but cars do go down there quite fast and I wouldn't be happy with it. Do I tell the parents that she can't go out to play as I think it's assumed that they will? Am I being overprotective? It will be hard for the parents to not let them out as that's what their dd is used to and when the other friends know my dd is there too I'm sure they'll be knocking. Help!
