'Call me uncool, but I don't allow my child to have sleepovers': Parenting expert explains why she says no

Safety depends on uncontrollable environmental factors and unknown guests at sleepovers. Readiness and specific life skills should precede overnight stays, not just age. Parents must assess if children can react appropriately to discomfort.
