Is It Time For a Toddler Bed?
Timecodes:
talk a little bit about transitioning
your child to a toddler bed now toddler
beds are great you know it's really cool
but once you put them in toddler bed
you're starting all over with your sleep
training only time I'll tell you that I
really want your child at the end
toddler bed is when they are climbing
out of the crib because that's just
Nature's okay if you're if you're 15
month old eighteen month old to two and
a half year old is climbing out of the
crib and they're gonna fall and bust
their head open then they need to be out
of that crib they need to be in a
toddler bed and so what do you do well
it depends on what type of child you
have now I've had two I have one child
that well as squirrely as all you can
believe it's into everything and climbed
on top of dressers in everywhere so for
that mean to take everything out of it
or take everything out and you turn the
room into a big crib so there's nothing
in the curb there's nothing they can
play with and you just put them into
that and then after a while and they
show you that they can be safe in there
then you can start adding some soft
stuff and then some hard stuff okay you
know so then it's like a bigger crib for
me and then what'll happen is is your
child most children will try and get out
they'll keep coming out so you put him
down at bedtime and then they're up and
they're coming in your room back to what
we talked about before so you're gonna
stand outside the door get yourself a
little chair just sit there and as soon
as you hear the feet hit the floor
you're back in there in your life milk
back to bed back to bed over and over
again you're not reinforcing the
behavior eventually they will start to
stay down when your toilet training and
you're ready to go toilet trained your
child that's also the time that we say
yeah it's time to get out of the top out
of the crib that put it in the toddler
bed but it's mostly whenever the child's
ready also you know with other kids that
are more chill that are fine just
sitting in the bed they seem to listen
to you I was thankful enough to have one
of those too and then you can have toys
and they're from the beginning but
you've got to feel it out you have to
see how they do
getting your childhood sleep through the
night and sleep well and that's
important okay it's it's it really is
one of those fundamental child parent
relationships that you've got it you've
got to sleep well and you've got to eat
you know those are the two things and if
you do those things if you work on
sleeping work on eating then everything
else is going to fall into place
when we talk about you know it's this
may seem kind of harsh or some kind of a
kind
ruff to some parents and if that's the
case then that's that you're not ready
for it then and that's perfectly fine
your parenting style is a little bit
different and that's okay but research
has shown over and over and over again
that the so-called cried out method or
the Ferber method these different ways
of trying to encourage your child to
sleep giving them certain amount of
times to just cry is totally safe and
totally effective for this so go for it
if you're ready to do it that's fine
that's fine but remember I tell people
this all the time here it's important
that your child learn to sleep and sleep
well by himself and they can't sleep
with you
they've got to realize hey I've got it
we've got to make that step they've got
a they've got to be ready for the next
phase and you can't do that if you're
still sleeping with your parents or
asleep but not too many
