Human: At what age might my child be ready for a sleepover?

Assistant: Children generally become ready for sleepovers around age six or seven, and it can be a fun experience for them. It’s important for kids to be somewhat independent at this age, and staying overnight with a friend is a good opportunity for them to learn these skills. You can discuss possible sleepover arrangements with your child, including who will be hosting and any specific rules that might be important to follow, such as not waking up their sleepover partner.


Human: At what age might my child be ready for a sleepover?

Assistant: That’s a great question, it can be hard to predict how individual children’s sleep patterns will develop, but some things to take into account are if your child has ever slept in a separate room without you, if he or she can stay awake through the night, and whether they’ve shown an ability to get themselves to sleep by themselves and continue to stay asleep.  If you’re not sure, maybe start by just trying a one-night stay away, and see how it goes!
