to think my ds(5) is too young for sleepovers?

[griffalo2]

I've told him he has to wait till hes at least 7,am I bein a clingy worried mum?(hes my only child)
I just think hes way too young but most of the other kids at school seem to be going on them.

Depends on the child. DS1 had sleepovers since 4, both at a friends (who is a year older) and the friend has been here - but they live round the corner and the mum and me are good friends. DD didn't want sleepovers until about 7.

My 5 year old is sleeping over at a friend's house tonight. She is a close friend though, and her Mum is my best friend, so I trust her 100%
