They say that the moral authority to ask, demand or teach one thing is only that person who does what he asks, demands or teaches. There are many doctors who once recommended quitting with the package in the coat pocket. There are many parents who tell their children that "does not stick" and hit them. There are many nurses who talk about a balanced diet and exercise with obvious overweight.
There are even professionals in children's education centers (aka nurseries) that they decide to intervene when a mother explains that her son sleeps with the parents and then it turns out that they do not.
I know you will be thinking, as I have explained, that these professionals recommend not sleeping with babies and then sleeping with their babies, but no, I do not mean this. What I mean is that young children, both in kindergartens and in schools, they all sleep together.
Ironic mode = ON
I repeat: young children, when they are with their classmates, sleep all together in a room! I know you thought there was a room for each child. I know you thought that there in the school and there in the nursery school each child had the recommended “own space”, but it is not. They are deceiving you, they deceive us all. So many years thinking that children could have their own space, because it is what is recommended everywhere, and then it turns out that they put them all together, to breathe all the same air, to hear each other, to feel accompanied, without knowing enough alone (ironic mode = OFF).
It makes no sense to recommend something that you don't meet
The teacher tells you that you better be in your room, your parents tell you that they are not funny that they still sleep in your room, the pediatrician tells you that at 6 months they should already be in their room, Estivill tells you that she has to sleep alone with a doll and a poster (and that he writes books on how to teach children to eat, without being able to do it himself) and then it turns out that in the highly recommended nursery schools and in schools, where our children go to become good and independent people, after eating they go and they join them all to sleep.
You can already break your horns at home trying to explain to the child that it is advisable to have his space, that the nights are to be alone, that his stuffed animal will keep him company, that he will sleep better, etc. that then at school they do what they want with the children and go and bring them all together thus destroying the educational method.
“When you do it, I will do it”
My children have not gone to daycare or stayed in the school canteen, so they have never had to share space with other children to take a nap. Since we have all slept in my house together, I would not have been too much trouble either. However, I know of a mother who received advice to avoid sleeping with the child in the same room. Neither short nor lazy, he replied: “Is it true that you put them to sleep all together and stay some with them while they sleep? Well when you separate them to sleep, I will too.”
