Lying Down With Your Kids Until They Fall Asleep Is Not A Bad Habit December 14, 2016 at 11:05AM

"You might ask: How will they ever learn to self-soothe? How will they learn to fall asleep without you? Aren’t you going to create dependent sissies who never learn how to function in the world without you? The answer to the last question is an unequivocal nope. Numerous studies have shown that the more attached kids are, the more secure and independent they actually become. It makes sense if you think about it: Giving kids security makes them feel confident and able to function with ease in the world..." At times, my tot really drives me nuts putting her down to bed after protracted hours. Especially during those nights where she needed to practise her "kungfu" and "yoga" before she started walking. But then again, she sleeps by herself now on her big full-sized bed. Lying down with her until she falls asleep is the least I can do every night to comfort her. She will cuddle up to me and call me "mama" before she drifts away. I love that feeling. That's one of the beauty of motherhood. #beautyofmotherhood
