"Rise of the 'Lateovers': The New Parental Trend Replacing Sleepovers"
Some parents are opting for "sleepunders" or "lateovers" instead of traditional sleepovers for their children, citing concerns about child safety and individual needs. This trend is seen as a compromise for parents who are anxious about letting their kids spend the night at other people’s homes. Experts suggest that allowing kids to sleep over at the homes of trusted individuals could be a trial run for real sleepovers, while emphasizing the importance of caution without being overprotective.
