How To Get Your Toddler To Sleep In A Big Kid Bed

Is Sleep Training Selfish?


Listen Later

Have you ever asked yourself “Is sleep training selfish?”  In this episode, you’ll learn about the health benefits of sleep for kids.

😴 If you’ve been stuck laying in your child’s bed for hours, waiting for them to fall asleep. 

🛏️ Or waking up through the night to play musical beds. 

🥱 Or welcoming a toddler into your bed at 2am and you’re sick of it, you may have tried to change things. 

Now, if you’ve tried to change things and it hasn’t worked, you may have decided that your child just CAN’T sleep without you. Maybe they’re just too strong-willed or maybe they aren’t capable of sleeping independently for some reason. Or maybe you’re concerned that if you try and get out of this sleep situation that your relationship will be damaged. 

So, you make a decision. And it may be an unconscious one. You decide that they must really NEED you at night. Not a preference but a NEED. So you’ve just given in and accepted it as your fate. This is your job. 

And once you take it on as your responsibility, the prospect of trying to get out of it seems almost selfish. 

And even if you’re exhausted and feel like a walking zombie who hasn’t slept through the night in a year, you STILL won’t change things because it feels selfish. 

But what if getting your child sleeping through the night independently was the best thing for THEM?

What if working to get your child 10-12 hours of consistent sleep through the night with no wake ups was actually the healthiest thing you could do for them?
