Who of us have not had a sleep over some time in our life when a child. You friends come over, you watch some films, stay up a bit later than usual and tell stories and gossip. Girls do each others hair and boys talk about sport and when they are older girls.

There is nothing wrong with a sleep over they are great fun, but if your child is going on one there are a few things you need to check.

Where are they staying? Obviously this is the most important of all questions. It is best to make a call to the family hosting the event, or if you are the host, why not be pro active and phone the parents concerned first.

Important Questions

What time do they arrive? Being fashionably late is not really an issue for children.

What time to be picked up? Very important not be be left last the next morning.

Are they going out, and how are they getting there? Just for piece of mind, you know who is driving you child and where they may be going, fast food, cinema etc.

What do they need to bring? Do they need bedding, food, what clothes? Very important for your child not to be left out.

Supa Swap's advice is not to put restrictions in the way of your child having fun but just be vigilant.

Sleep overs are great for your children to gain responsibility, arange first if it is ok for the other parents and not just the children saying "yes its fine" .
