My wife and I are parents of four-year-old twin boys. We have read and appreciated Jesper Juul's book, "Your Competent Child," but are a bit nervous about some of the ideas he suggests. For example, we are toying with the idea of letting our children decide when to go to sleep (to an extent). But we'd like to access either some testimonials of people who've done this with four-year-olds (i.e., what happens when you allow four-year-olds to choose their own bedtimes?), or read some actual research on the topic. Any suggestions for resources? What are your opinions of this type of approach? Thank you very much for your time.
