At what age is it better for children to sleep in separate beds?

Babies sleep in the same bed with their parents from birth, but this is not conducive to the child's development. It will cause the child to be overly dependent on their parents and is not conducive to the development of their independent personality. Moreover, when parents want to have sex, if their children know about it, it will cause their children to suffer from precocious puberty, so parents should sleep in separate beds from their children when appropriate. In the early stages of sleeping in separate beds, the child may cry and make a fuss, so you need to guide him correctly. At what age is it better for children to sleep in separate beds?

3 years old is the most appropriate time to separate beds. Data show that 3 to 6 years old is the period of children's love for their father or mother. Children will be more sensitive to the relationship between their parents and issues between the sexes. From a sexual psychology point of view, it is best for children to sleep in separate rooms from their parents after they are 3 years old. If there are no conditions for separate rooms, they should sleep in separate beds. Moreover, children must never be allowed to see their parents having sex.

Sleeping with parents for too long can easily lead to precocious puberty. Children who sleep in the same bed with their parents for a long time will inevitably come into contact with their parents' bodies. For a 3-year-old child, this kind of touch may produce a sense of safety and warmth. However, a teenager may have natural physiological reactions, and his parents' sex life may also have a negative impact on the child.

Tips for sleeping in separate rooms:

1. Prepare a small bed for the baby and connect the child's bed and the adult's bed together. However, when making the beds, you can deliberately make the two beds in completely different styles so that the child feels that this is not a big bed for sleeping together. The child's bed can be made the way he likes, and the adult's bed can be made the way he likes, so as to cultivate his awareness of the difference.

2. Tell your child stories or read with him/her before bed. When children start to sleep alone, they will inevitably feel a little uneasy and scared. At this time, you need to tell your children positive bedtime stories to teach them to be brave.

3. Let your child empty his bladder before going to bed and try not to get up at night;

4. Don’t let your child get too excited or watch TV before going to bed;

5. Finally, don’t close the door when you sleep, let your child know that you will come to see him from time to time.
