Up to what age should children sleep together?

Parents always make babies and toddlers sleep with them. Apart from this, some children sleep with their parents even till the age of 8-10 years. But after a certain time, children should be given a separate room to sleep. Otherwise it can be harmful. Actually, experts say that it affects the mental development of the child. Let us know till what age the child should sleep with the parents.

Advantages and disadvantages of sleeping together
Young children sleeping with their parents is good for their safety and mental health, as young children tend to wake up several times during the night. In such a situation, it is necessary to make them sleep together to remove fear from their mind. Also, it is important for children to sleep with their parents for their development. But after some time, one should develop the habit of sleeping on a separate bed.

According to a study, children should sleep with their parents only till the age of 3-4 years. In such a situation, their mental health remains good and self-confidence increases. This also reduces fear in the minds of children and also removes problems related to their mental health.

Putting children of this age to sleep in separate beds
According to experts, after the age of 4-5 years, parents should start making their children sleep separately. Similarly, around adolescence when the child enters puberty, it is better for them to sleep separately. This gives the child space and also makes it easier to understand the changes taking place in their body.
