      Irrespective, if you are not comfortable with sending your child for a sleepover but do not want your child to miss out on all the fun and bonding, you can always allow them for what is a 'lateover', a not-so-new concept, where you allow your child to join the party but only up till 10pm or 11pm and then pick them up. ¶ Sleepovers/lateovers can be a lot of fun. They will give your child memories that will last a lifetime – cherished moments, which they will be able to recollect and smile at later in life.
