If you are a parent, there is nothing wrong with laying down with your children and helping them go to sleep. Some parents might think this is causing their children to be too dependent on their parents, but others consider this great bonding time. Bonding with your children is one of the best things you can do for them, as it develops your relationship and creates a sense of trust and security with them. We all would do anything for our children, and there is nothing wrong with doing different things to bond with them.

• Don’t insist that your child must sleep only with the sounds generated by the house, if computer-generated rainfall noise is what truly works.
• One mother has found that snuggling with her children until they fall asleep is a great way to end a chaotic day peacefully.
