The invitation has arrived and your child is desperate to go, but are they actually ready to spend the whole night away from home? A first sleepover involves much more than packing pyjamas and a toothbrush, particularly when your child needs to manage bedtime, speak up when uncomfortable and know when to contact you. Age alone cannot answer the question because children develop independence at very different rates. Take this quick quiz to see whether your child has the skills and confidence that can make their first night away easier to manage.
