Parental Nights: How to Make Your Baby Slept
From what we know about children who sleep well, we have identified those factors that help the child and parents sleep through the night. Here is a rational approach to caring for a child at night, taking into account that tired, hard-working parents need to sleep and it is required that their child sleep, and at the same time taking into account the peculiarities of the child's needs at night. Therefore, we use the term "caring for the child at night", and not just "how to put the child to sleep."We want you to develop this approach to taking care of your child at night, which would allow you to sleep better, your baby to sleep better and, in the future, help your child get a healthy attitude to sleep.
Sleep is a state in which you can not drive a child by force. A more sensible approach is to create a sleepy environment that allows the child to dive into sleep, and also to sleep soundly without waking up. Laying a child to sleep should not be a mechanical process with the use of insensitive techniques: "On the first night, give the child to cry for five minutes, in the second ten minutes. .." and so on. This method of training young children is more insensitive than what people use to train animals. Our goal is not only to make the child fall asleep and remain asleep - we want the child to be asleep to a state in which it is pleasant to sink and in which it is not terrible to stay. It is impossible to divide the care of a child during the day and care for a child at night.50%( or more) of the day that a child spends in a dream is not wasted time. This is the time in which the child develops a healthy and trusting attitude to sleep - and to life.
When studying various ways to help a child sleep better, we also got acquainted with different theories of putting a child to bed. And they found out that they are all variants of one old song: Give the child a cry. This cruel dogma first appeared in books for parents around 1990, and it still attracts, with modern modifications, all books for parents. But here's the snoring facts: sleep disorders in infants - and adults - have reached epidemic proportions. Today, there are centers for the treatment of sleep disorders in almost every major city, and the same techniques of forcible imposition of sleep continue. It's time for a more humane approach. First we would like to share with you some facts about the childhood dream, and then we will offer you a step-by-step approach on how to help your child develop a healthy attitude to sleep that will develop into the healthy habits of an adult.
Never dreamed of "sleeping like a baby"?When you learn how babies actually sleep - or do not sleep - you will not want to have an infant sleep. If you try to imagine how babies sleep, visions of a serene, sleep-free dream will come to your mind's eye. But that's how
babies actually spend their nights - and why.
