My daughter is turning 10 in october and she wants to have a sleep over and I am find with that. The problem is that she doesn't get a long with well. She is fine with them for awhile and then things go haywire. I told her that maybe it is her but she tries to convience me that it is not her. We tried the sleepover thing before with her cousin, a friend from school or cousins from church and she is fine for acouple of hours and that is it. She is more of aloner than a socialist she gets that from I know it. So if there is any advice please help. My ears are open.
Why don't you do a "half" sleepover - the kids come in PJS, you can have pizza, watch a movie, play a few games, then their parents come pick them up?
S.,
She might do better with having just one close friend over instead of a group. I remember this stage with my oldest - your daughter will do better with sleep overs when she's a little older. Perhaps your daughter is a leader, not necessarily a loner - that was the case with mine and your daughter is still developing her social skills.
Maybe you could offer an outing to the movies or mall with a group or whatever would be fun plus just one friend overnight.
good luck,

I have had a sleep-less sleepover before. Kids come at 6pm and leave at 10:00 pm and you still do all the things that you would have done at a sleep-over. That way you are not putting your daughter in that situation until she gets a little older. Kid's come in pajamas, have a scavenger hunt, make popcorn, play a pillowfight game or something sleep-overish. Paint nails, have hand waxing...etc.....Enjoy
