Much of the harm is unmeasurable. If we are thinking about emotional outcomes, such as anxiety, depression, ability to cope with stress, trauma etc., these are outcomes that are not directly tangible or easily observable. These issues may also take years and years to surface, and would require long term studies to evaluate whether sleep training methods played a role.

A common response I get to speaking out against CIO or withdrawal type sleep training methods is, “Show me proof that sleep training is harmful.” While I’m happy to share research that I stumble across, I feel like we sometimes think too simplistically about this issue, and I want to start a several part series explaining some of the problems I have with the current research and parenting paradigms.

I like esthetically pleasing photos. I also like a clean house. And by that, I mean, if a closet door or drawer can’t hide it, I like it to look clean. But sometimes we see a picture and think, I wish my house looked like that or I wish I could keep my house that clean.

Bree has been potty trained 6 months ago but there had been some accidents specially during the stay-at-home order. Sometimes, she doesn’t want to take break when playing with her ‘friends’ and end up getting to potty too late.
