Up until this apartment, James and Stella shared a bedroom and loved it. we loved it too. Because I believed companionship would actually help me feel comfortable and safe at bedtime. They rarely woke up in the middle of the night or had trouble falling asleep. I don’t think this is necessarily due to the magic of sleep training. always.

Then there’s also the age factor that played into the decision to keep them together rather than separate. It just had more pros than cons, and it worked in the end…but this doesn’t mean it’s a formula for guaranteed success. Anyway, where I’d like to go with this is James and Stella being safe and comfortable together and what I’ve said before about the age factor is that when we’re younger they have stronger emotions. What we feel we have is that we need to “support” each other. Now, James, who’s about to turn 10, and Stella, who’s turning 8 in a few weeks, have realized that they have different emotional needs at bedtime and at night. James needs his own space, his pre-bedtime self moments, and dare I say it, he needs some kind of privacy. Or call it personal space. Stella emotionally yet she’s not 100%. She frequently asks if she can sleep with James or if it’s okay for her to sleep with him, but sadly for Stella, James refuses more often than saying yes. , I think Stella asked us if the new baby arriving at the end of October if all went well could stay in her room. He explained that he would be in our room first until we fell asleep. we all agreed. And then we went back to implementing a solid bedtime routine for both of us in separate rooms–God, after their summer vacation, this is a challenge! It’s been a week since then and we feel we’re getting there.
