While they are young

The “SuperNanny” did an experiment towards a family wherein the parents are having sleep deprivation due to the fact that their child can’t sleep alone in his room without disturbing them.

The activity would be really helpful to many people especially parents who are                                 sleep deprived due to their children’s improper sleeping     habit.

                          The expert says that this will cause an even bigger problem in   the future if not solved now since their child,Croose , is already in the proper age to be thought to sleep early and be disciplined. 

           Jennie, the mother, found it really hard especially knowing that she’ll have to hear her child cry but will be forced not to do anything about it. She’s instructed to put her child at the crib at his sleep time and turn her back and sit to the floor facing the door. Her child cried and asked for her arms and help and soon she starts crying having to deal with whatever she was hearing.

It would indeed be very hard on the side of the mother because mother would really want to ignore the cry of their child but this activity would be very beneficial to both the parents and the child himself and so there is nothing else to do but try for the betterment of the family.

As Croose cry is heart out, he felt sleepy and laid in his crib and eventually fell asleep. The mother, the expert and of course the father was relieved to see the first part of the activity to succeed for this has broken a “would have been” a very long bad habit of the child and poor practice for the family.

But the activity did not end there, the expert said that in the middle of the night, the child will wake up and Jennie will just have to do the same thing. It worked and so the activity ended with the child asleep and the parents relived.

It may look confusing on why does it have to be ignoring the cry of the child but then the mother, as explained by the expert, stayed inside the same room but is not doing anything is a sign telling the child that “it’s alright to sleep, you’re safe, I’m here.”

Then in the future as the activity progress, no one will be sleep deprived anymore and the child on’t have to be dependent too.

As you can see, sleep deprivation or sleeping disorders may originate from simple problems like this too and so while it’s still early, we should act on it so we could avoid meeting the worst. This activity would be really helpful as well as it’s reminder to every parent or anyone dealing with the same problem.
