Interesting topic for OT parents... Sleepovers
Posted on 3/4/15 at 9:58 am

Wife forwarded me this Article she read on Facebook the other day.
I've never thought about it really, mine's in kindergarten and after reading I'm leaning towards the couple's point of view in the link.
Plus I watched the movie Prisoners the other day and the thought of something terrible happening to my child makes me physically I'll.
Here is the article.
Curious to know how other people feel about this topic.

Why My Family Doesn't Do Sleepovers

This is sort of silly:

Well, we all know what his daughters are going to do when they get to college.

For very young children that can't communicate well, I agree that sleepovers aren't a good idea. Once a kid gets old enough to know what is going on and tell me about it, I think sleepovers are okay as long as you vet the situation well. You can't go through life too scared all the time.

Your kids are going to have shitty childhoods if they are only in kindergarten and you're buying into crap like this. Better hope you have sons because if you have daughters they are going to be giant whores in college.

Just put your kid in a bubble and lock him/her in the basement and never let them see the light of day.
Probably the best route to take.

This. Part of the reason I pay to send my children to school where I do.

Its a different world now than when my kids were around. I'd rather err being over cautious, than too lax,,,within reason. They need socialization, but, it's a very thin line.

I dont see the problem as long as I know the parents. Granted, I live in a small town so most of the people my kids will grow up with I know personally. I just dont see the point in generalizing the whole situation. This is where good parenting comes into the picture. If you dont trust the parents the he/she would be staying at then dont let them go. If you do, I dont see the big deal.

Not to take away from the topic, but what does the author imply by saying "visited the South"
Who the hell says that?
Edit: in relation to the actual topic, while I'm sure things can and do happen, as a parent, you take caution with things, but you are also not wanting to prohibit your children from everything...

I disagreed until he brought age into the conversation.
Guy said when his kids got little older they relaxed their stance in it.
Mine is 6.
She's not capable of not letting someone older take advtg of her ahould they chose to do so.
I don't when they age stops... 10? 11? 12?
Prob different with every kid.

Don't know.
I agree that you never know what's going on behind someone's else's door.
It's scary to think about how many predators are out there and even enabled by their spouses.
However, I don't think you can completely shelter them from everything.

Hate this saying. No, it's not different at all. You think child molesters just magically appeared in recent decades?
There is just more access to the stories now through technology and media.

That's sort of a different argument, though. There's no real point in having "sleepovers" with 4 year olds.

Keep thinking that. Do your kids stay out every night playing, building rafts, hunting and fishing until you blow the truck horn to signal them to come in, I really doubt it.

Sandusky had sleepovers.
