It seems that \u201csleepovers<\/a>\u201d are becoming much more common and at younger ages. In some cases, parents are taking a night off for themselves, but in most cases, it\u2019s friends wanting to have their friends stay overnight. The typical process for a sleepover is the child asks the parent for a sleepover with a friend, the parents contact the other parents, they work through the logistics, and then they have the sleepover. Stapleton parent Andrea Miller is looking to change that. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a handful of sleepovers at our house and it occurred to me that there was a step that was missing,\u201d said Miller. \u201cJust talking with the other parents and arranging drop off and pick off times wasn\u2019t enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We live in a world with so much data and such easy access to it. When we stay at a hotel, condo, VRBO, eat at a restaurant, go to a movie, join a fitness class, and on and on, we always have the ability to see a review. What did other people think of the things I am considering doing?\u201d Miller realized there was a market out there for people to review other people\u2019s children when it came to having them stay overnight at their house. \u201cSome kids can be really easy,\u201d said Miller. \u201cAnd others have all these needs at night, or dietary restrictions or they get bratty and bossy late at night, etc. Parents should have a way to view this information before inviting a problem child into their house overnight.\u201d To help fill this gap, Miller created the online site \u201cKidFriendly\u201d which allows parents to put in a review of kids who they\u2019ve had spend the night at their home. \u201cIt\u2019s very similar to Yelp!,\u201d said Miller. \u201cParents are able to enter a child\u2019s name, their city, and elementary school, and then rate the child.\u201d Miller says it is a five star system and also allows for comments. \u201cWe had a girl over who had allergies,\u201d said Miller. \u201cYou would think that would be an issue. But, she brought all her own food and was absolutely great. So, I gave her five stars, and then made a comment mentioning allergies and that it wasn\u2019t an issue. It will be really helpful to the next parent(s) who want to have her over. We had another girl who was high maintenance and just wouldn\u2019t settle down. Two stars for her. So, it\u2019s just a way for us parents to look out for each other and our kids for these overnights.\u201d Miller says \u201cKidFriendly\u201d already has almost 500 users, just in the Stapleton area, and she expects to grow quickly. \u201cThis service will help parents everywhere,\u201d said Miller. \u201cI know this is something my parents would have loved.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
