Any tips on a child who resists the game? I have tried this (granted only 2 nights so far) and my 7 year old son says he doesn't like the game. He said he can manage 1 minute and 30 seconds. He counts in his head the entire time while I am out of the room. Thank you.
I’ve bought your book and have found SPACE very helpful - however my husband and I are getting multiple times a night by our anxious 9 year old despite the fact that he falls sleep in his own room now-please advise🥺
If a child wakes up many times in the middle of the night and has to call her mother to accompany her before she can fall asleep again, how should this situation be handled?
Thank you for the time and effort you took to produce this video. I'm going to pass and work on other, more direct methods. This trick "The Game" is like Harry Potter for heli-parents. I want to treat our son as a human being and not use deceit or a shell game to get what I want. How about..."you're sleeping in your own darn bed". Adults playing deceitful games on kids is equivalent to adults playing games on ourselves and each other. This is similar to how (and I'd bet hundreds of dollars on this) this gentleman and his colleagues play games on themselves and each other when they convince themselves the democrat party is NOT the party of corporate elites and globalist control freaks vis a vie the great reset. God Bless you and Your family
Very suitable for kids that age! Some older kids will prefer to just do the routine without the elements of game and show, but most 11 year olds respond well to the game.
@@SPACETreatment Thank you so much for this. I'm looking forward to trying this approach with my anxious nearly 9-year old, who currently needs me to sit in her room until she's sound asleep. Do you recommend telling the kid at the outset that the duration is going to increase over time? Also, I'm curious, having read your book: when should a parent try this game, as opposed to removing the sleep-related accommodation altogether?
Hi! I usually don't say it explicitly unless they ask directly in which case would say 'we're working on your bedtime and starting with this' but if you need to answer specifically would be truthful that the plan is to gradually increase. I would use this when a child is collaborative and willing to try the 'game'. And in particular when sleeping alone is the issue or challenge that you're addressing. Good luck (and good night!)
How would you modify this for a child that goes to bed mostly fine in their own bed, but gets up and joins you every night?

Isn’t this a signal that there’s an attachment issue?

How about older children …say 11 …
