Sleepovers play an important part in childhood. It helps kids develop stronger bonds with their friends, get a sense of independence, and get accustomed to a change of routine. However, not all parents are fans of sleepovers.
Some parents have mixed feelings about letting their kids spend the night outside the house while also being cautious about the responsibility of taking care of someone else’s child. Also, not all kids feel comfortable spending the night somewhere else. That is why an alternative, known as “sleepunder”, is becoming increasingly popular.
Sleepunder sees parents hosting sleepover parties that include dressing up in pajamas, eating snacks and sweets, watching movies, and staying up late. However, when it’s time to sleep, the parents of the visiting children come and pick up their kids to take them home. Additionally, they might bring them back early in the morning so they can enjoy the breakfast part of the sleepover experience.
An increasing number of parents are viewing sleepunder to be the best of both worlds. It provides kids with all the key moments of sleepovers while also giving parents peace of mind. Additionally, it can serve as a “trial” for both kids and parents to get more comfortable with real sleepovers.
So, if you are uneasy about sleepovers, give sleepunders a thought. It might not be the “real deal”, but it is definitely close enough.
