After the child is born, he will sleep with his parents first, so that it is convenient to take care of the child. Many problems will arise when he grows up. What age is the best age for children to sleep in separate beds? Today, the editor of Xiaoou Parenting talks about the importance of sleeping in separate beds.
slept in bed, in fact, many parents are very worried, worried that their children will feel scared when they sleep by themselves, and their children may return to their parents' rooms in the middle of the night, or even have nightmares. According to relevant research, if a child sleeps with his parents for a long time, he is relatively young and has a weak ability to live alone, and is very dependent on his parents. When they grow up, they will lack the ability to be independent, so when the child reaches a certain age, they need to sleep alone.
At what age does the child need to sleep in separate beds with his parents? This is a question that parents are very concerned about. When the children are unwilling to sleep, parents will feel soft-hearted and feel that their children are not sleeping in separate beds at first, which leads to missing the best opportunity to split beds. So how old do children need to sleep in separate beds? Parents must not miss the best time and miss the growth and development of their children.
According to relevant research, it is best not to sleep too early for parents and children to separate beds, especially before the child is three years old. It is best for parents to sleep with their children. After the age of three, they need to start letting their children sleep in separate beds, which is very important.
Children begin to have self-awareness at the age of three. Children with better independent abilities will be more likely to accept sleeping separately from their parents, and even look forward to sleeping on their own. At this time, the child can sleep on their own. For some children with poor independence, parents can wait for a while and start to provide some psychological counseling for their children after the child is three years old, so that their children can gradually accept the matter of sleeping in separate beds, and when the child is four or five years old, they can accept sleeping in separate beds.
3-5-year-old children are a critical period of personality formation. At this time, they begin to have an independent consciousness. If parents do not seize the opportunity at this time, they will become more dependent on their parents when the child is six years old and lack their own subjective consciousness. The longer the child sleeps in the same bed with his parents, the greater the impact on cultivating his child's awareness of independence. Therefore, before the child is six years old, parents should let their children sleep independently.
What are the benefits of letting children and parents sleep in separate beds for our children?
1 Gender awareness
Children around three years old begin to have gender awareness, and children will know that boys and girls are different. According to relevant research, children who have "Oedipal complex" or "Oedipal complex" after growing up do not sleep in separate beds with their parents when they are young, and even sleep with their parents after they become adults. If parents do not provide them with correct guidance and education when they are young, they will eventually lead to unhealthy psychological development and may even affect their children's life.
2 Independent Ability
For children, growth does not depend on how many skills they have learned, but on having an independent personality. Sleeping in separate beds is the first step for children to establish an independent personality. Although parents hope to give their children more love, parents will not accompany their children for the rest of their lives and will one day be separated. When children sleep in separate beds with their parents, the first thing is to make the children psychologically independent, so that the children will gradually accept the reality of sleeping in separate beds with their parents.
3 Lay a good foundation
Many children will cry in the kindergarten and clamor for their parents after going to kindergarten. This is because their children do not have the ability to be independent. Therefore, cultivating children's independence before going to school. Sleeping in separate beds with children can help children learn to be independent, and children will not rely so much on their parents.
