[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's my anecdote:  I have a 10 year old boy who sleep trained at 6 months and an 8 year old boy who never sleep trained.  The kid we sleep trained is by nature less aggressive, has always been better at listening and self-control, and has always been more advanced in school, read very early and scores about 10 points higher on IQ tests.  The 8 year old who did not sleep train has always had more trouble controlling his emotions and is slightly less strong in school overall (i.e., he's in advanced math tracks but not for reading/writing).  He is a better athlete and more outgoing.

All of this is to say....I think they have the intelligence, personalities, and emotional nature they were always going to have, and I don't think sleep training mattered one bit.[/quote]

You don’t know where either kid would be had you sleep trained or not sleep trained.  [/quote]

Right, nor does anyone else who has or ever will study sleep training in babies.[/quote]

Because it is impossible to prove a negative!!! [/quote]

Cool, then we agree.  Good talk.[/quote]

I don’t think you understand what proving a negative means.  [/quote]
