Would you ever allow your 7 yo to board?

Hiya, DS has been accepted onto the junior swim team with his school, he is the youngest on the team, but most of the boys are roughly his age, maybe Year above. Would you allow him to board on the 2 nights that he trains in the evening/morning. For example, training is Tuesday night, Wednesday morning (so board Tuesday night) and then training on Thursday night and Friday morning, so board Thursday, so he would only board on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He is very keen.

Would you allow this?

I teach in a boarding prep and we have lots of Year 3s and 4s who choose to board for 1 or 2 nights a week and occasional weekends.

When they do a couple of nights a week, they see it more as a sleepover.

If it's his choice, then let him!
