Fear-of-sleeping-aloneSome kids have fear of sleeping alone so they like to sleep with their parents. This could be a sign that they want your time and attention. Wanting to be physically close to their parents is not an issue, but make sure this kind of behavior doesn’t hinder in their sleeping pattern and create trouble in sleeping alone in the future. This can make them weak.  This sign completely shows that you are not giving them the right amount of time with you during the day and thus they are craving for it.

Spend time with them and always make them as your priority. Most of the time parents get indulged in their day to day problem and the kids get avoided which makes them irritated.  A small word of love, attention, and care is just enough to make them feel special. Sometimes action speaks louder than words. So you can make their favorite lunch, watch their favorite cartoon together or just sit beside them.
