Focus on Better Behavior

There will come a time when your child, boy or girl will want to have a friend over, or they will want to go to their friend’s house for a sleep-over. If it’s your first time, don’t worry, here are some tips to help things go smoothly. For children around 9 or 10 try a no TV rule but let them watch movies. Girls like to do hair and make up, have some hair accessories and some makeup for them to try on each other. For the boys have some sort of project for them to do, or something that they can make. Include the kids in the family atmosphere and keep it low stress. Incorporate a lights out rule around 9 or 10pm, the girls will most likely stay up to chat and giggle, which is fine, but the no lights rule will start to settle them down for bed time. sleep-overs should be fun for you and them, they get to have a friend over to enjoy their space and family and you get to meet and spend time with their friends.
