... to ask about sleepovers for primary aged children?

My 6yo (Y2) is desperate to start having sleepovers but I’m not sure if it’s too young?

Is this the norm? I didn’t have them as such until I was much older and then it was just staying with my best friend or her with me from about 14.

If they have a slumber party do you have boys and girls? Or just single sex?

I started having them when I was about 7 or 8. Definitely at primary school. But only with one or very occasionally two friends. I wouldn't be hosting parties with ten of them sleeping over and I wouldn't have mixed sex sleepovers.

In our school sleepovers didn't start until around Y4/5. In Y4 they had a one night residential trip so that seems a good age for them to be away overnight without family.
