"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.

"Sleepunders: A Parent's Anxiety-Free Sleepover Solution"

Some parents are opting for "sleepunders" or "lateovers" as a solution to their anxiety about allowing their children to sleep at another family's home, due to increased awareness of issues like sexual abuse and gun violence. This trend reflects a general increase in parental anxiety, with almost half of U.S. parents describing themselves as overprotective. For parents like Qarniz F. Armstrong, allowing their children to attend parties and then bringing them home at bedtime, even in the wee hours of the morning, is seen as a good compromise to ensure their kids have normal childhood experiences while addressing their own concerns.
