We enjoy that special familiarity that comes from seeing sleepy faces around the breakfast table on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Often we find out that our own first impressions of a child were wrong. Similarly, other parents get to know our children. It is a source of joy to me that my son is welcomed at others' homes. He's sweet, talkative and always offers to help.
Kids can learn a lot from sleepovers too.
Fun and inexpensive entertainment For busy working parents, a sleepover can be a way to barter some times and space, and it is economical entertainment. Be aware that a certain etiquette should be observed. You should stay in touch with parents and not leave all the arrangements to the kids. If a sleepover was a favor to you, call to thank the parents for giving you a free evening and consider sending them a small gift. Sleepovers can also help you find things out about your own child.
