[quote=Anonymous]I asked my mom when i read this thread how my parents dealt with this issue when i was that age. She said she just rubbed my back and I would eventually fall asleep. It was a rule we were not allowed in our parents' bedroom at night. Sometimes she just had to gently, firmly say: "Dad needs to work in the morning. You need to stop your crying. Everything is ok and there are no monsters in the closet." That reassurance helped me sleep. I never dealt with this issue as I had a child on my own at 36 and we live in a large studio apartment. We co-slept in a queen bed til she was 6; then she got her own bed. I was always right there; so no fear, no anxiety. She learned to sleep through the clattering of dishes and low tv or radio noise, or working on lesson plans or talking with my students' parents on the phone. You situation will dictate what works for you.[/quote]
