Safety for Kids Having Sleepovers

June 11, 2013 By Shaz Fisher Leave a Comment

 

Kids having sleepovers need to be reminded about what is appropriate and how to get out of a weird situation

Three Young Girls Lying On Top Of Each Other In Their PajamasIt is too easy to become complacent with sleepovers. Here are some questions people should know or ask themselves before their child has a sleepover. The age is not the main requirement, the crucial point is the parent’s feeling comfortable that their child is in a safe environment. The aim of a sleepover is fun, but fun can’t be had unless precautions are taken. If it is all too much for you at the moment – host a sleepover at your house.

  • whose home will the sleepover be at?
  • Do you know everyone who is living there or staying there at the moment?
  • How long have you known the host family and how do you feel about them?
  • Is their home an unhealthy environment?
  • Does your child have allergies or food issues?
  • Have you spent time in their home before?
  • Do you have similar values as the child’s parents?
  • Who’s supervising… parents, teenage babysitter?
  • Have you discussed “thumbs up/thumbs down touches” with your child and given them some scripted responses to help them get out of any weird situation?
  • What other kids may be spending the night?
  • Are kids sleeping in beds, sleeping bags, sharing air mattresses?
  • Can you communicate your questions comfortably with the other parents?
  • Does your child know they can call you anytime, even in the middle of the night, to come pick them up?
  • Does your child have a mobile phone or will they have to ask the host to use their home phone?
  • Can your child do that for themselves?
  • Is your child going to have to bath there?
  • What activities are planned?  Are the adults also having a party or get-together with their friends that night?
  • Will there be a lot of other adults there, possibly drinking alcohol, while kids are around?
