Problem
When every child is housed strictly alone from the start, something many cultures take for granted goes missing: the closeness that comes from spending the night together.
Solution
Keep a room in the house where children or groups can sleep together from time to time, so that this closeness stays possible without giving up separate rooms altogether.
