If your child will be sleeping over at a friend's house, be sure he takes his boxing gloves with him. Just explain to the parents of the other child why your child must wear boxing gloves to bed and ask them to tape them on tightly for him. The parents will understand.

Oh yeah its horribly common for a kid to wear boxing gloves to sleep. :D
