Should I let my 16 year old have a boyfriend?
Consider their emotional maturity and sense of responsibility. For many kids, 16 seems to be an appropriate age, but it may be entirely suitable for a mature 15-year-old to go on a date, or to make your immature 16-year-old wait a year or two. You can also consider what other parents are doing.
When should you allow sleepovers?
Neither sleepovers nor slumber parties are appropriate before age 10 and are not required for optimal social development. Before allowing your child to spend the night at a friend’s house, make sure you know the family well. This is true for children in late elementary school and teenagers.

How do you go to a sleepover without your parents knowing?
