Sleepovers can be a cherished childhood memory—or a source of anxiety for both kids and parents. In this episode, child psychologists Tammy Schamuhn and Tania Johnson unpack the risks and benefits of sleepovers through a trauma-informed lens. They explore important developmental, emotional, and safety considerations to help caregivers make informed decisions.
Whether you’re feeling pressure from your child to say yes or struggling with lingering concerns, this episode offers guidance on:
* What age might be developmentally appropriate for sleepovers
* Red flags and green lights when evaluating another home
* How to prepare your child for a successful experience
* Why some kids (and families) may not be ready—and that’s okay
This episode doesn’t tell you what to decide—it empowers you with the tools to decide what’s right for your child.
