Why do people think CIO is cruel? Because we let the child cry? I let my dc cry when she throws a fit about wanting ice cream for breakfast and I say no. Is that cruel, too? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

uh - yeah. There are things you could do to distract or in some other way get her to calm down. Maybe you think she's crying for icecream but she's just crying for you to love her. and she thinks you don't because you abandon her at night when she needs you. [ Reply | More ]

tell me about it, she is actually just trying to test mom's boundaries. At 3 they should know that no means no. It's not like we're talking about a 18mo who doesn't really get rules yet. [ Reply | More ]

I couldn't let my infant cio, but I'm certainly willing to let my 3 y/o if that's what it takes. Of course, I prefer to find other ways of disciplining, but if that's what's necessary, that's what happens. A child who can understand "you can't have ice cream for breakfast. your choice is either to sit and eat or cry in your room" is totally different from a baby who just wants to be held [ Reply | More ]
