[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes! Some of you sound really rigid. My oldest only slept 10 hours at this age even without the nap. It stinks but that’s how it is. She still goes to bed later than many of her friends but now sleeps reliably until 7. My younger one has always been super inconsistent. We try to keep him quiet but I think it’s a lot to ask of a kid especially if they are scared. Haven’t your kids ever come into your room shaking from a nightmare? The problem with many of those ok to wake clocks is they are really bright. My kids are sensitive to light and we found it was better to just say the clock has to have this number (6) here. A 4 year old can do that just fine. But I would think sometimes they need help to understand it’s really the middle of the night and they need to try to go back to sleep. One of my kids has been up for the day way too early and then had meltdowns at school, so for us it was important to emphasize they trying to sleeping aspect of it. YMMV[/quote]
It is called lazy parenting, where parents' needs come before the kid, that they allegedly had because they wanted a child. They should feed their kids only iron-depleted foods, I hear anemic kids make for great sleepers![/quote]

No, sorry all the pediatric sleep experts agree with us. It’s not laziness, it’s actually harder to ensure good sleep. Your kids are chronically sleep deprived. [/quote]
