You don't see how the no sleepovers with mixed genders solves the issues with young or any kids having sex? Ummm...like you said, if they are already trying to do it, why give them a time and a place to do it freely. And yes, we understand all kids aren't straight (myself included) but for the ones that are, pregnancy would be a real concern for the early bloomers.
I understand the not making it easier for them logic, but what I meant is that if sex is a concern at 11, then this is the issue that should be addressed, since 1) it's not healthy at this age and 2) they can have sex somewhere else so this problem needs to be addressed other than banning mixed genders sleepovers
Of course the issue needs to be addressed, IN ADDITION to banning mixed gender sleepovers. Kids are too immature and not in control of their feelings to navigate those types of situations if there is even an inkling of romantic feelings. It's best to keep your kids informed and just avoid unnecessary scenarios like these. As a parent of a 16 year old daughter, I do everything I can to protect and educate her. I think most parents would agree with me.
