Question

This month，my 7-year-old daughter invited her friend to sleep over．Her mom，who had told me before she did not allow sleepovers，explained that she did not think the kids were ready for a sleepover until the age of 10．I then started to wonder whether there actually was a"right"age for a sleepover．
   I remember the first real sleepover I ever had．It happened when I was about 13 and a friend of mine invited me to sleep at her house．Luckily for me，her parents were not strangers．
   I think I cried for 2 months straight before being allowed my first sleepover．My parents were not completely heartless，though．I was actually sick at the time and had to take medication and they were very concerned about that，but I still did not like them saying"no"．
   I remember my excitement the day before I finally got my sleepover．I could not sleep that night from the excitement．When I got there，my friend's house looked so beautiful and her parents were so nice and welcoming．
   Unfortunately though，the number of sleepovers I had throughout my childhood can be counted on two hands．And after every one of them，I realized exactly how much I was missing．It was only as an adult，when I was studying education，that I actually learned about the importance of sleepovers in kids'development no matter how old they are．
   A sleepover is one of those things every child needs experience on their own．It can do them a lot of good．
