Sleepovers? Should You or Shouldn?t You?

It?s the age-old question, but like most things in life, there simply isn?t one ?right? way to do things when it comes to our kids. Sleepovers can be a fun ?rite of childhood passage?. Personally, I can remember some terrific (and safe!) slumber parties with my close friends. These experiences were part of a wonderful childhood, and many parents would like their own kids to be able to enjoy the same. Yet, sleepovers can also be a slippery slope just by their very nature, and it?s certainly appropriate for parents to have legitimate concerns. We?ve all heard stories about children being molested while at a sleepover. And yet many other children will enjoy sleepovers without anything bad ever happening. Instead of offering one ?absolute? about sleepovers, my perspective is? sometimes yes and sometimes no.
