I am finding this quite difficult also, my daughters are both at the age when they want to sleep over at their friends houses, however despite going to a church school, most of their school friends are not Christians, and once when I let my older daughter just go for tea at her 'friends' the 'friend' disagreed with her over something and started beating her up!
I am very cautious about it, as we dont know what they are being allowed to watch on TV or what their family is like,
I know it sounds quite judgemental, but my children are precious to me and I want to know what is happening.
It ends up with us having more than our fare share of kids over. but I prefer it that way.
