Excerptsfrom The Sleepeasy Solution No-Cry Versus Crying It Out Most parents wanting to makechanges with their child's sleep have heard all the debates about allowing a child to cry. This hasled to a lot of confusion. Some of the methods that promise 'no-cry' solutions suggest to parentsthat their child wonÃ†t ever cry. The idea is that being Ã´gentler and moreresponsiveÃÃ¹continuing to soothe your child by patting, picking her up, holding her hand, andthe likeÃ¹means that she is less traumatized. Ironically, though, parents often report that the childstill cries even while they continue to attend to her; all children protest change, and the way theylet us know they don't like the change is to cry. As important as it is for parents to express love tochildren through physical touch, and as illogical as it may seem that doing so while helping a childlearn to sleep is counterproductive, it is indeed the parent's touch that can exacerbate a child'sfrustration in this scenario. The result? The child often continues to struggle with sleep, usually forweeks or even months, because she is not being allowed to learn how to soothe herself. Witholder children, using touch can be especially detrimental, as it tempts them to continue testinglimits with you, to keep pressing until you cave in and help them to sleep. WeÃ†ve found thatwhen using these kinds of 'hands-on' methods, parents often give up on sleep learning because ittakes so long to actually get better sleep that the process itself becomes exhausting. On the otherend of the spectrum are the experts who suggest that the fastest way to help a child to sleep is toallow him to 'cry it out' in other words, shutting the door and leaving your child completely alone,crying, for as long as it takes him to fall asleep. Also known as full extinction, this method actuallydoes work, and sometimes quite quickly, although we have heard stories of children who havecried for as long as several hours at a stretch on the first night or two, perhaps bewildered andfrightened because the usual helpers (namely, you) have disappeared. The idea of a child alone inthe dark, crying inconsolably, doesnÃ†t sit right with most parents, and it doesn't sit right with us,
