I think you did the right thing in letting the parent know the deal, and when you saw she clearly wanted more info, gave it to her. Bombarding her in the beginning might have been too much for her - giving HER the anxiety, which Master 10 would have certainly felt and been affected by. Even if disaster strikes after youve posted - I still think you're doing the right thing! Like you said - he will either have a great time, or not. But not giving him a chance is not letting him grow out of the struggle years. And if all goes well, just another awesome milestone to celebrate and boost his esteem with. if not, then at least youve started to work on your own fear of letting your boy gain independence slowly.

Thank you,
In the end it all turned out fine. We did exchange several 1 am text messages but he stuck it out and was very happy with himself the next day.
that is so awesome!! congrats, Master 10 - great achievement! I remember sleep overs when I was younger - I had one friend in particular that never made it through the night, always ended up calling to be picked up. Cellphones really save the day, now :)
Cellphones are a life saver.
