Sleepovers are a subject that parents and even experts can’t seem to agree on. On the one hand‚ they are seen as opportunities for children to develop independence away from home and create core memories with friends—all the while giving parents some possible quiet time. On the other hand‚ the “no sleepover rule” is becoming increasingly popular‚ as the boundary helps to avoid separation anxiety or thrusting kids into potentially risky‚ even dangerous environments. But for parents who want the best of both worlds…the “sleepunder” might be the perfect solution. ​So‚ what exactly is a sleepunder?Essentially‚ a sleepunder‚ aka “lateover‚” is a sleepover‚ minus actually sleeping over. Kids can still show up in their pajamas‚ eat snacks‚ watch movies and play games‚ all those fun sleepover activities…only when it’s time to go to sleep‚ parents will pick the kids up so that they can sleep in their own bed at home.Have to admit—hearing this option immediately puts 10-year-old me‚ an introverted only child who considered sleeping in a bed that wasn’t my own to be torture‚ at ease. According to Erica Komisar‚ a New York-based psychoanalyst‚ parenting expert and author‚ this feeling that I had is certainly not unique. "Some kids can do sleepovers without any hesitation‚ while others are less comfortable changing their routine‚" she told Fox News‚ saying that sleepunders are a great way of addressing this very real sensitivity that some kids experience in a way that doesn’t compromise having fun or bonding in groups.While interviewing with Good Morning America‚ parenting expert Erika Souter added that sleepunders could be a “great option for parents who don’t culturally understand or agree with the idea of a sleepover.” “For a lot of people it’s something that they never did or their parents didn't let them do so this is a really good compromise‚” she said. So‚ in essence‚ sleepunders could be a great solution to easing both a kid’s and their parent’s potential anxiety.

As for how to establish a sleepunder routine‚ Pattie Fitzgerald‚ founder of Safely Ever After‚ Inc.‚ has some tips that she provided to Motherly‚ and a lot of her advice boils down to being firm and clear in your plan‚ both to other parents‚ and your child. Perhaps most importantly‚ Fitzgerald encourages parents to create a family “safe word‚” just in case their child might feel uncomfortable and want to leave early. This is a way to clearly communicate without potentially causing embarrassment. Parenting is a constant balancing act between protecting kids and allowing them freedom to explore. Sleepunders might not work for everyone‚ but it’s a great example of creative solutions to striking that balance.

People are used to hearing quote worthy sentences with the dramatic flair when it comes to the likes of Shakespeare or Emily Brontë. It's the kind of sentence structure that makes everything sound like a love affair with the English language as you imagine someone writing with quill and ink. Maybe the English language has gotten a bit sloppy or lazy over the years.But it seems that Nigerians have never stopped having a flair for the dramatics when it comes to speaking‚ at least that's what people on the internet have revealed. Recently a podcast ClxpsAndGxgs uploaded a clip to TikTok to discuss an X thread they discovered."Nigerians speak so poetic when they're upset‚ instead of saying‚ 'I'm mad‚' they'll say‚ 'my enemies have succeeded‚'" one of the hosts reads before bursting into laughter.This is apparently just how many Nigerians speak‚ because the comment section of the original X post which appeared in 2021 and the comments under the recent video give near endless examples. One of the co-hosts reads out a response to the original post‚ "my Naija professor once said‚ 'they've made an assassination attempt on my life‚' when he slipped on a piece of paper." The theatrics in speech were too much for the other co-host to bear as he called out how dramatic it was to call slipping on a piece of paper an assassination attempt. But maybe‚ just maybe we could have a little more fun with the English language. Clearly‚ Americans haven't figured out how to give our sentences the proper enhancements because speaking this way seems much more fun. The examples of this exquisite use of self-expression via the spoken word continued in the comments. @clxpsandgxgs Nigerians Speak so Poethically #shxtsngigs #nigerians One person writes‚ "my Nigerian friend angry at another friend who's terrible at charades‚ 'he sits under the tree of knowledge‚ yet not a single fruit falls into his lap."Another says‚ "A Nigerian friend of mine said‚ 'the image of God is expanding‚' commenting on my weight gain. I could not even be mad."One commenter reveals‚ "when I walk in with a serious look‚ my Nigerian mom would ask me‚ 'my daughter why does your face look like a formal letter?'"Someone said they need these little nuggets in the form of a daily calendar and they just might be on to something. Who wouldn't love a little Nigerian wordsmithing sitting at the ready?
