Here is the docs advice: None.
I donīt give a rats azz for any of the standard dog training routines. Every child is unique and so are their parents. Furthermore, children develops and matures during the pre school years and what works for a two year old may not work with a three year old. Comes with my work that I have seen and heard about all kinds of techniques over the years. Some or most seem to be more angled toward the well being of the parents, not the child. Kids this age group need to feel safe and secure. They instinctively wants to be close to their parents.
I have four kids myself and I have tried many routines. With my youngest, now three years old, I chucked all that out the window. I realized that bed time is a very special moment that is well worth spending some time on. Hence, Hannah still sleeps in my bed and when its bedtime I lie down beside her as if we were going to sleep both of us. She sleeps within five minutes.
