Some of you may have watched the 3 Day Nanny on channel 4 last night, personally I didn't. From what I can gather the nanny suggested the parents used a cry it out technique on their child. A friend on facebook posted how this was a form of child abuse.
I pointed out that I had used the cry it out method and it worked for me, my children still knew they were loved. My boys are confident strong willed children now, they are cuddly and loveable (most of the time). They don't resent me, they don't say "do you remember when you made me cry lots at bedtime when I was x years old"....... no... they more than likely can't even remember (these are kids who can't tell me what they did the day before!) And yes - I do have a naughty step too.
