Let's take my daughter as an example.
She's twenty six now, but as an infant, if we had the expectation that she would sleep through the night, we were screwed.
And I was the nighttime guy.
Walking her tended not to work.
The only thing I could find that worked was driving her around in the car at two o'clock in the morning.
I like to tell her, I don't think I have felt rested since she was an infant.
There you go, parental guilt.
But it might be true, right?
But eventually we were able to get her to sleep at night.
But what it mostly took was trying to pay attention to what she was telling us about what was going to work and what wasn't going to work.
You know, the other option, and there are people who would do this, and I don't fault them for doing this.
I just don't think this fits the definition of being responsive.
Who would let the kid cry it out?
For some people that's a matter of philosophy.
For others a matter of desperation.
I was unable to do that, and I don't suspect that it would have worked.
And even the guy, doctor Ferber, who recommended that many years ago, I was sitting next to him on an airplane and he was expressing regrets about having given that advice.
So I've got firsthand experience with an infant who's having difficulty meeting an expectation.
We really have the expectation that you'd sleep through the night.
Now, what are we going to do if you're having difficulty meeting that expectation?
