[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello. This is more of a question, than a comment. I know this is one of these subjects that gets people fired up. I was wondering from the parents of the older kids that are sleeping in family bed, how does the independance foster itself away from home, such as overnight camps, outdoor ed, etc. My personal experience in seeing the kids that are hugging mom's leg(the little ones) or don't have sleepovers as quickly as other kids it's because they don't have any separation from mom and dad.  I  guess this was kind of a comment also.  I also learn different points of views on this site, and love giving my opinion.  Please don't jump on me to hard.  Although, I  can take it.

We co-sleep with our 3 year old. I don't understand why people think that co-sleeping will lead to lack of independence. There are many other ways to foster independence. My son goes to school 5 mornings a week, is very very outgoing, goes up to strangers, etc.   Some would agree that having such a strong bond with your child improves independence, and makes your child feel more secure and confident.

Havent' had to deal with the sleep over issue yet, though agree that it may be complicated by the fact that we co-sleep. But I don't think that means my son generally has a independence issue.

BTW, Great Zuchini, saw your show Sunday at the Arlington Drafthouse and had a great time![/quote]
