Encouraging Sleepovers

There are a few things you need to be aware of prior to when your children invite their friends over for the night. First, make sure that your child is ready for sleepovers. If they're not, pushing them to go to one is likely to cause stress and may result in them not wanting to spend time with their friends again. Thirdly, you should make sure your child isn't be afraid to take responsibility at the house of their friend and let them know that their friend might not be doing everything they do at home. They might not have a buddy who reads before bedtime or bathes each day. Talking to your child about this will make them feel more secure and prepared about sleeping away from their home.

Whether your kids have a high or mid sleeper, make it clear that the lower platform should only be used for sleeping, and that the ladder should only be used to climb. The bed being used as a climbing frame can increase the risk of falls and accidents, and it's not safe for young children.

Include cushions and throws to your child's high bed that has the option of a chair or sofa bed. This will create a comfortable zone for them to sit and watch TV and read or play games. Decorate it with their favorite themes, styles, and colours to create a lively environment that's perfect for guests to visit.

Having the proper equipment and establishing a routine can help your children feel more relaxed about hosting sleepovers. Ensuring you've got plenty of pillows and duvets for everyone will help them get an uninterrupted night's sleep and avoid unnecessary wake-up calls in the middle of the night. A flexible curfew can ensure a pleasant sleepover. A gentle reminder thirty minutes before curfew and a firm, friendly push when it's not will help to keep the peace. With these tips in mind, your children will be ready to welcome their friends round for the evening and you'll be able to enjoy an unwinding evening at home.
