-
Monitor internet and phone use: Consider setting guidelines around internet and phone use, such as prohibiting access to certain websites or social media platforms, and limiting overall screen time.
-
Check in regularly: While it’s important to give kids some space and independence during a sleepover, it’s also important to check in regularly to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable.
-
Provide healthy snacks and drinks: Instead of sugary or high-caffeine snacks and drinks, provide healthy options like fruit, vegetables, and water to help kids stay hydrated and nourished.

Be prepared for emergencies: Make sure you have contact information for all the kids’ parents, and have a plan in place in case of an emergency.
