In a family, after having a second baby, it became a difficult problem for Dabao to sleep with. Child psychologists and experts strongly recommend that maintaining a close relationship between parents and children is one of the important factors in promoting children's growth and development. However, for families with two or more children, how to balance parental love and attention can indeed become a tricky issue.
Importance and challenges coexist
In a family, whether it's an only child or a child with siblings, sleeping with parents can be a unique moment of intimacy. For Dabao, the love and care of their parents is an important support for their growth, and the nights spent by their parents and Dabao together give them a sense of security and belonging. However, when the second baby is born, parents need to face the problem of how to arrange sleep.
Faced with this problem, many people who have come over will bluntly warn new parents: don't sleep with your father. Why is there such a suggestion? There is both theoretical basis and practical experience. The following will explore this issue from several aspects.
Prioritize the needs of newborns
Newborns are physically and psychologically very fragile beings, and they need to rely on their parents for various basic needs including feeding, comforting, changing diapers, etc. Therefore, it is very important that the needs of newborns are met first. During nighttime feeding and reassurance, frequent interaction and contact between parents and newborns are required. If Dabao also sleeps with his parents, then the two children will not be able to effectively meet the needs of the newborn because of the competition for the attention of the parents. Therefore, in order to ensure the health of newborns and a good growth environment, it has become a more reasonable and necessary choice for Dabao to sleep alone.
Foster independence and autonomy
In addition to meeting the needs of newborns, another important reason for letting Dabao sleep alone is to cultivate his independence and autonomy. When Dabao falls asleep alone and learns to self-soothe and fall asleep independently, they will gradually develop good sleep habits and self-management Xi. This process of cultivating independence is very important for Dabao's growth and lays a solid foundation for their later life.
Give Dabao special love and listening
Even though Dabao no longer sleeps with mom and dad, that doesn't mean they're ignored or left out in the cold. Instead, parents have a responsibility to give Dabao more love and attention, and to actively listen to their needs and feelings. Through parent-child communication, companionship, games, etc., parents can establish a more in-depth and exclusive intimate relationship with Dabao, so that Dabao can feel their love and care.
Summary and outlook
In a family, after having Erbao, it became a problem for Dabao to sleep with his parents. Although people who have come over will advise not to sleep with Dad, this does not mean that Dabao is neglected or ignored. On the contrary, by allowing Dabao to sleep independently, we can meet the needs of newborns and develop Dabao's independence and autonomy. At the same time, Mom and Dad need to give Dabao special love and listening to build a deeper intimate relationship with them. In this way, we can make every child feel the love and care of their parents, so that they can develop better as they grow up.
So, when faced with the dilemma of who to sleep with, we can understand and accept this reality and treat and meet the needs of each child in the right way. Only in this way can we maintain the harmony of each member of the family and take solid steps on the road of mutual growth and development.
