What is the age limit for a parent to sleep in the same bed as a child?

Answer 1

if your child sleeps with you you than you should put them to bed by themselves when they turn @ least 5.

Answer

A child should not sleep with a parent regularly. They should sleep in their own bed from the beginning. A healthy family has healthy boundaries. An occasional visit to the parent's bed is permissible under special circumstances or for a quick snuggle but not on a regular basis.

Having a child in bed stifles the natural flow of intimacy between adults. Does the intimacy take place with the child in bed or is the child removed? Neither choice encourages healthy, relaxing relations.

A child who sleeps in her parent's bed fails to develop a natural self sufficiency and will become too dependent on the proximity of the parents. She must learn how to 'self-soothe' and that can only develop in the immediate absence of the parents.

The problems associated with a child sleeping with parents can be compounded by divorce. Especially if the custodial parent introduces new partners to the bedroom. That can promote jealousy and anxiety in the child and the new partner as well. It is not in the best interest of the child to be sleeping with an unrelated adult. Having the child in the bed can also become an emotional crutch for the single parent that is extremely unfair for the child.

Answer 2

You should answer this youself .You think about it . Am I to old to sleep with my mother? Ask your mother? whoever you ask there are just gonna give you their opinion. What i think is to old is maybe 22 years old but that is just what i think some people could say no that is not true it's 100. So think about it if your 11 and some people say it's to old to sleep with your mom when your 11 ignore them if it hurts your feelings.But if your thinking about the other kind of sleeping with your mother than you shouldn't be thinking that kind of stuff.

Answer 3

They should have their own beds as soon as possible. Most children have a cot as a baby then progress to a bed. Just like starting to use a potty, you want to try and do this as early as you can to give the child it's independence . In anycase I would not let a boy sleep with his mother once he starts to enter puberty for obvious reasons. It is not harsh and unloving for a child to have their own bed.

Sorry, but you potty train a child when their biological systems function in a way that they can control their bladder and bowel. If you start too early you are just training yourself. Children first need to totally depend upon their parents for everything, (EVERYTHING and they are), only then can they move on to independence. I have three sons, each of them slept with me. When they were ready they moved out. . . . At a certain point, you couldn't make them sleep with us, they had become totally independent and had no use or need to sleep with their parents anymore. BTW what obvious reasons ??? Read "The Family Bed" : )

Answer 4

any age but most people stop at the age 12, or before

Answer 5

I believe that a child should sleep alone at the age of 4 or 5. Depending on the parents' preferences. It's up to the parents.
