Why I Let My 5-Year-Old Sleep in My Bed—And Why It Matters

Some nights, my 5-year-old climbs into my bed, snuggling close and whispering about her dreams. I know some people wonder if this is the right thing to do, but for us, it’s a moment of connection and comfort. When she’s scared or just needs a little extra love, sharing my bed helps her feel safe and seen. I remember being her age and wishing for that same reassurance. These moments won’t last forever, and I want her to know she’s always welcome in my arms. What do you think about co-sleeping with your little ones?
