Getting A Room for your Child

since my husband and i works away from our child when she was younger my mother sleeps with her in her own room.She always wakes up two to three times at night to ask for water or food to eat.So its not advisable for us to let her stay in our room. When my husband and i are home,we send our baby to sleep in her room and leave her when she is asleep.my mom will then go to bed with her.. I think its better for them to be separated with us the earliest possible. so you won't be thinking of them ,waking up while you and hubby were doing something.I bet you can't concentrate on what you are doing because you are being alert that baby will wake up. That's very uncomfortable :-D

when my children were born i keep them in a small moses type cot in my bedroom, so i could keep an eye on them, but not in my bed. by about six months, when they could sit up, they were no longer safe in a very small cot, so i moved them into a larger cot in their own room. i would not let a baby sleep in the same bed as me, for safety reasons, and as long as you pay attention to the child and give it lots of attention when awake it doesn't need to be with you when asleep, as i also think it creates problems. i would move your son into his own room now, though its going to be hard, but if you make an appealing place with all his own toys and belongings, so he sees it as his own space, and its a nice place to be, it should be possible to do. i suspect, to stop him always going to your room, you would have to make sure that you spend a lot of time in his room, reading bedtime stories and things, so that he knows that if he needs you you will go to him, and he doesn't feel that you are rejecting him by giving him his own room.

When he is old enough to face the realistic and not fanciful world of make-believe tales. I pity smaller kids who are into another room without them at my side. But the sooner that they have become "small adults", I would reconsider.

Most of the time my dad is not in the country as he was working. So I sleep with my mom. But if my dad is with us, I would be sleeping in another room. I guess when the child reached the age of 10 they can have their own room.

I think it depends on the child on how he/she handles sleeping alone in a room. You should first practice him to be alone sleeping. Or make sure his room has all the things he needed, equipped with toys that he loves. In his age, he is fond of playing, if his room is good, cozy , he will feel their the comfort and he will enjoy with the decorations and the things he wanted to play with then he can find it good to sleep and feels that his toy will accompany him in his sleeping. Just don't close/lock his door, anyway before he really fall asleep by then mother/father is there to assure that he is fine.

I think it all depends on you. If you think your child is mature enough to be on his bed, it is ok. I wouldn't leave my baby on his or her room alone unless she is old enough to know when to turn well. Iam always teriffied to hear news of children dying after they were left to sleep alone on cot or beds.

I don't remember it quite well. Perhaps my son started to have his room when he was about 4 years old. Of course you shall think out some methods for your child to leave with you and stay in his own room by himself. Sooner or later they have to be independent. I love China
