At what age shouldnt your kid sleep with you.?

Question

I have a daughter who is almost 2 years old. It does not matter if I put her in her room or not she always ends up sleeping with me. I want to know at what age should i put a stop to this.

Answer 1

At no age should kids sleep with you regularly! That should be a rare occurrence at best as grown ups need some privacy and children have to be taught to respect that.
You already screwed up badly, and at 2 she will not be easily broken of that HABIT. But you screwed it up, YOU will have to fix it!

Answer 2

My sister slept with my mom until she was 14. No joke. I would put a stop to it as soon as possible. Your daughter could turn into a psycho hose beast. You need to put your foot down. There comes a point where your daughter will have to learn to fend for herself. You can't always be there to protect her. This may seem like not a big deal right now, but the last thing you want is for it to get out of hand and have your daughter sleeping with you until her mid teens.

Answer 3

When it starts to affect your sleep or your sex-life! No, seriously, this is really personal decision, it depends on what you're comfortable with. My son still ends up in our bed sometimes and he's 4. My daughter stopped on her own at 5 and now she's a great sleeper. My 10 month old stays in our bed after her 5 am feeding.
Do what you like, when it seems weird, stop.

Answer 4

Whatever you do, don't feel guilty or worry that you've made a mistake or anything. Parenting happens day by day, night by night, and you do what you have to do to get through the tough parts. If having her in your bed is really bothering you, you could always let her cry in her crib, or tell her you'll stay with her until she's sleeping. It's would be hard to let her cry because she's two now and she'll probably throw a tantrum. If you decide to do this, just stand firm. It will be hard for up to a week or so. The trick is determination on your part. What works for me when I let my little ones cry at night is picturing the smiles on their faces in the morning when they see me. This never fails. I haven't damaged them and they recover very quickly, in my opinion, from any crying or tantrums. (As long as you know she's safe and can't hurt herself in there). Good luck.

I think 3 yrs is a good age to start training her to sleep in her own bed. Ithink the best way is to make a weekly chart and buy her favorite character stickers and tell her big girls sleep in their own bed and if you sleep there all night you get to put a sticker on your chart and every week or 2 do something special with her for being good. nothing expensive just something fun . maybe go get icecream.

Answer 7

On Nanny 911, they always tell the parents to just keep putting the kids back into their own beds without speaking. There will be a few brutal nights, but it's necessary. Every time she comes in, pick her up and put her back. The reason you don't say anything to her is because that would just encourage her to keep coming into your room to "talk" to you. You need your own bed back, and she needs to learn to sleep alone.

Answer 8

Do it at an early age, so your kid doesn't become accustomed to it. Maybe around 3-4 years old. It's your decision. Don't wait too long by emotions or anything. Part of being a parent is to teach kids how to be more individual. Some ways you can do so, are by making sleepovers where your kid feels like sleeping with other kids rather than you, or at naptime at a pre-school/day care center, tho your kid is a little young for that now.

Answer 9

I think that a kid shouldn't sleep in their parent's bed after age 4. But, you should start training your child to sleep in their own room most of the time. Let your child know that when you put her to bed she is to stay in her own room. When she comes into your room, take her back to her own room and put her to bed, letting her know she needs to stay there.

Answer 10

That is totally up to you. As with many parenting issues there is no right or wrong answer. You need to choose what is right for your family. If you don't mind her sleeping with you, it is not a problem. If you do mind, there are several ways to get her in her own bed. You can rock her to sleep, lay with her until she falls asleep, allow her to fall asleep in your bed then move her to hers, just put her in her room and let her cry it out. It is your family and only you know what is right for you.
