Is it okay for children to sleep with their moms after age six?

Answer by  Roland27 (16334)

Not really. It's okay to take a nap together once in a while but if it's a habitual thing you should stop and get your children to sleep in their own beds. Kids sleeping with their parents can make the kids afraid of everything and overly dependent on them. Sleeping on their own is a good thing.

I think it's a matter of judgment on your part. If things are working out for you, you're ok with it and he seems otherwise well adjusted, why not? Just because something is nontraditional in our society, doesn't make it inherently wrong. I got weird looks when I talked about co-sleeping with my infant, but it worked best for us.
