My 8 year old goes to her friends houses to play quite alot and can happily stay there all day without missing us. However, when it comes to sleepovers, she will go to them but then cries and gets upset and asks to come home (which she does)
I've asked her why she always wants to come home and she said it's because she misses us so much. Obviously we reassure her and tell her how we will see her in the morning and how she will have so much fun etc... but shes still very much the same.
I never mind her coming home from not wanting to sleepover but I don't want her missing out on things her friends get up to because she misses us.
Anyone else been through this? How did you overcome it? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
