My daughter is over a year and a half old. I know its important to respond to a babies cries when they are young, so they feel secure and trust you. Does that apply to toddlers? If I put my daughter to bed when she is obviously tired, and I know there is nothing wrong, is it harmful to her mentally in any way to let her fuss for 5-10 minutes until she falls asleep? She often goes right to sleep, but occasionally is just trying to fight sleep. It seems to be helping, teaching her to self-soothe, and that she cant always get her way by fussing, but its not going to cause any probs in the long run is it?
