interactions that they will need throughout life. These are the very skills
that kids should be honing for success as a functioning adult, far more
important than being able to play piano. Kids need more unstructured play,
not less.
Aside from being a much cheaper option than babysitters, sleepovers also
help children learn to sleep anywhere, in any bed, with any pillow. This is
not an ability to be scoffed at. It is, in fact, one of three goals everyone
should realistically set for raising their kids: get them to adulthood with
no sleeping, eating or sexual hang-ups. Do that and you will have done your
job, launching them off with the foundation needed to thrive.
Drop the hubris of thinking you can pick your children’s friends, interests
and musical passions. Instead, help them grow up to be highly functioning,
non-neurotic contributors with a strong sense of self. They will thank you.
And so will society.
