Does it cover some sleeping techkiques for the toddlers?

The book talks about loveys or a special item your child has to give him security. My child doesn't have one, I have tried to encourage him to do so, but he just doesn't seem to care. The book says to practice time outs from the first bday. My child has never had a time out because he behaves before it gets to that. (he's 18mo) Am I "skipping" important parts of this thecnique, or should I just ignore those parts?

She wasn't too interested in it at first, but now she's usually holding it in the morning. I'd say putting it in a crib or play pen is a good idea and they'll bond to it as they need to.

And you're probably fine on the timeouts if you're not needing them. My daughter is 16 months and we've only done a few but we try to keep it in mind for when she does something really bad (like hitting the pets). (less)
