[quote=Anonymous]I used to do professional sleep training before I had my kids. Here is how I explain it to clients: Above a certain age, for the vast majority of kids, being in the same bed with another person is going to cause fragmented sleep. That means they aren’t getting the full, healthy, restorative night of sleep they need. If they are in bed with you then they will also struggle to nap (unless you are laying down with them). The result is a chronically overtired baby/toddler. Does extinction and crying cause stress? Yes. But the human body is built to deal with short-term stress. What is truly harmful is long-term stress, and lack of sleep causes a LOT of long-term stress and therefore harm to the body and mind. So you are putting your child through a stressful experience (sleep training) in the short term to correct and teduce the overall amount of stress your child experiences.[/quote]
