Sleepovers are something familiar to most of us. Normally, our kids would ask if their friends can spend the night at your place and chances are you will most likely agree to it. But this is applicable only if they are of the same sex. As far as co-ed sleepovers are concerned, parents would most likely say no to avoid certain problems we all know like pre-marital sex etc.

But co-ed sleepovers are now becoming a trend. This is most especially true for people who find themselves in the Eastern Cape.

SOME Eastern Cape parents are having sleepless nights over what their children might be doing when sleeping over at a friend‘s house, because of a new trend: the “co-ed sleep-over”.

And their fears may be well-founded – one expert says there is evidence that some teen co-ed sleep- overs turn into full-blown orgies.

As far as hygiene is concerned, most of you will agree, pets such as dogs should sleep outside our rooms. But there has been a tradition for most, especially the kids, to want their pooch sleep in their room for security reasons. By security we are of course referring towards psychological and physical in nature since we may not know when unexpected intrusions may occur.

But the thing is, would this be healthy for us. Remember, when we are in slumber, we are unaware of the things going on. Normally, these pets carry unseen insects or mites that may find their way to us. Add to that their fur may also be a cause for other problems such as asthma, assuming of course that they are the hairy breed.

Overall, parents normally disapprove of such a setup on such occasions. Rare as it may seem, we just have to consider various consequences before we let the health aspects of our bodies and our children get out of hand.

Here is a good article where you can read on further.

As parents, we will find ourselves blowing our tops on our kids at times because of a mischief now and then. While we all know that we scold or shout at them to let them know that they did something wrong, it would be likewise wise to analyze how we go about it.

Toddlers are in their developmental stage and it is only normal to find them groping for form as far as trying to figure out why “Mom is mad at me”. This can go as far as affecting their sleeping schedule since areas of fear or misconceptions are sure to arise. The next time you try to stress a point, do broaden your line of thinking. You should know better on what your child needs to get the proper sleeping habits they have.

A pediatrician from Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital has crunched data from 4600 families to analyse whether the parenting method has any effect on sleep behaviour of children between the ages of one and three.

As far as getting good help is concerned these days, be careful when you want your kids to sleep soundly if you leave a nanny to attend to them. While you may think your nanny is doing a good job in putting the kids to sleep, she may be doing something suspicious which may be entirely dangerous to a child’s health.

Now this is not to generalize that all nannies should be put into question. But even if they may seem sane, it still remains that some nannies have “different” means of trying to tend to children. For one thing, there are nannies who are only concerned about being paid and the care for children will not be the same as concerned parents have.

Here is an article about a nanny who drugged kids to sleep (Source) FOXNews. It does sound crazy and absurd but perhaps this will help parents think twice about leaving the kids at the hands of hired nannies.
