There's been a noticeable increase in parents refusing to send their children to sleepovers in recent years.

Many parents are worried about the potential harm that could come to their children under the watch of other families, with some refusing to let kids stay with close family members.

Therapist and parenting educator Jo Robertson says parents don't have to ban them outright, but it's important to be cautious.

"There's a trend of kids at camps now where there's no adults in the room, it's only children in the room at school camps. And that's got its own challenges with it."
