Children's sleep is something that is usually one of the main concerns of parents, and there are methods and theories of all kinds. However, studies are usually partial and it was, without doubt, necessary, a scientific work like the one we present today: “The scientific debate about the reality of children's dreams”.
This review has been carried out by two Spanish scientists: María Berrozpe, Doctor of Biological Sciences, and Gemma Herranz, Doctor of Materials Science and Engineering. And in their work they have carried out a thorough review of the studies in this regard, reaching a very interesting conclusion about the reality of the dream of human babies. No method is necessary for the baby to sleep.
Specialists who give advice or write books about children's dream they should be up to date and offer information without being influenced by their cultural or personal prejudices. It is also important for families to have truthful information that allows them to make responsible and informed decisions. This is why scientific review It's very important.
The methods for teaching children to sleep are completely disassembled in this critical and scientific review with his comparative study and his exhaustive literature review.
There is not a single scientific article proving its existence in an objective and scientific way, free of cultural influences. On the contrary, the enormous variability between the different cultures and the different eras is demonstrated in the way in which it is considered correct for a child to sleep, thus confirming the cultural nature of the origin of our perception of what is normal or pathological .It is evident, therefore, that we are not facing a childhood pathology of insomnia, but rather a mismatch between what the child wants and needs instinctively and what his parents expect him to do to sleep well: a mismatch in family sleep.
Therefore, it is neither ethically nor morally acceptable to apply a “treatment”, in the form of a methodology that entails a lack of response of the parents to the needs of their child, to force the child's adaptation to a specific behavior culturally since, not only have their defenders been unable to guarantee their safety, but also the child is not being cured of anything because he is not sick. ”
The normal development of a child, in the physiological, the emotional and the neurological, is demonstrated by scientific studies that, once and for all, dismantle Estivill and the rest of "experts" who treat children for a non-existent problem, which is, in fact, normal and healthy behavior.
I promise you interviews with these two Spanish scientists about their work and they will surely help us to better understand what we should expect from a healthy and well-understood scientific dream, but since they have published all their research in an open blog you can read it directly.
This extraordinary work will mark a before and after about the science of children's dream reality and is available to any parent or specialist interested in knowing the updated and revised data in a truly rigorous manner.
