After 5 years of mothering, I've finally figured something out.
When your three year old is lying in bed, crying and screaming because he doesn't want a nap, but is over tired, DO NOT GO IN!!! He does not need to be disturbed, he does not need to be comforted. If he gets out of bed and comes out of his room, that is a different story. But if he is staying in bed, LET IT BE!!!!!
He cried himself to sleep. And we will ALL be better off for it.
Now I will let the sleeping child lie.
