Very many small children, waking up at night, resort to parents in a bed. If your kid too so does, try to understand the reasons of such behavior. Them can be a little. For example, the child badly slept in the afternoon, and began to be capricious in the evening, mom forgot to put a favourite toy nearby, or did not tell the fairy tale for the night.
The child can fall asleep, and in two hours to wake up, having been frightened of what dreamed him. The imagination at children rich, and already an old familiar case turns into a monster, and under the bed awful animals hide. It can tell about the fears not at once, and instead begins to think out different excuses that it is hurt by the head, handles, legs, a tummy. Calm the kid, turn on the light in the room, together glance under a bed that he made sure that there is nobody. Sit with it nearby until he falls asleep.
If the bad dream dreamed it, in detail ask on what dreamed it. Explain that it, probably, dreamed the fairy tale, and kind heroes always win fairy tales angry, so he surely will come out the winner. Ask it to lay down, close eyes and together compose a dream which will dream it. Such reception can not only calm the child, but also teach to operate the dreams and further not to be afraid of nightmares.
Sometimes mom herself takes the child in a bed, is more often when he is sick, or the woman stayed at home one or in family there was some conflict. Pressing to itself the crumb, she calms down itself and calms the child. During a disease it is justified. Listening to breath of mom, her heartbeat, the kid relaxes and falls asleep. However if the child sleeps with mom in one bed all the time, there is a risk that he can grow up infantile, not able to make independent decisions, dependent on opinion of mother. And if the kid resorts nearly an every night in a parental bed, try to understand and solve his problems, and then lay to fill up in his bed.
