When your toddler starts to sleep in their own room, it can be a big adjustment for both of you. But there are many benefits to having your child sleep in their own space. Here are some of the reasons why it’s important for toddlers to sleep in their own room:
1. It helps them develop a sense of independence.
As your child starts to grow up, they’ll begin to want more independence. Having their own room will give them a sense of ownership and privacy that they can start to enjoy. This is an important step in helping them become more independent individuals.
2. It gives you some much-needed alone time.
Let’s face it – parenting can be exhausting! Once your child moves into their own room, you’ll finally have some time to yourself at night. You can use this time to relax, unwind and recharge for the next day ahead. Trust us, you’ll appreciate the break!
3. It allows them (and you) to get a better night’s sleep . . . eventually . . .
At first, you may find that your child wakes up more often during the night when they’re sleeping in their own room. But as they get used to the new environment and learn how to self-soothe, they (and you!) will start to enjoy longer stretches of uninterrupted sleep
