My son is now 28mths and he still cant sleep in his own. I have tried so many ways but failed. He cries and bet for not sleeping in his own..
Will this effect his personal growth etc?
Thanks.作者: s0902738 時間: 2009-10-5 13:20
You mean he can't fall asleep on his own, or he has to sleep with you together? Anyway, my experience tells me that you need to be persistent in allowing him to cry for that for a period of time and still force him to sleep on his own bed, because everytime you give in, you will have to start all over again. One trick I can advice you is that I always spend 30 mins, reading them 1 or 2 stories, and then ask them to quietly lying down and listen to a meditative story. If they are not calm yet, I would ask them to do a full body relaxation, and listen to their own breathing. (These are the things I do with my student in kids yoga class)... and I apply to their sleeping routine, it works like magic. They sleep in peace and the meditative story often direct their focus to continue their imagination, rather than thinking of not having you around. I have been doing this since my daughter is 2 and now she is 4.5 yrs old, and my son just turn 2. Try it... I walk out the room within 30 mins within hazzle.作者: berry 時間: 2009-10-5 20:22
Thank you so much berry. Actually, my son is sleeping with me since he was born. I have tried to train him sleeping on his own but he just dont like it and cry..cry..so pity he looks and beg for sleeping with me. Heart broken this point and I thought is that a must to train him sleep on his own? but the most important is I worry that will effect his growing path.
If this wont, then I really love to sleep with him as you said 親子的感覺好SWEET and he will leave me when he grew up..
I took your suggestion but he didnt like to listen to his own breathing. I told him to take several deep breath instead then he fell into asleep immediately. haha..
Any how, think I will ask him to sleep on his own during nap time and I will sleep with him during the night. I have so much fun to play with him before sleep (although I am so tired..).
For sure, I will tell him tonight I cant sleep with him any more when he is 9 yrs. =P
