Question

My child has been crying and fussing a lot lately and isn’t eating much. Could sharing a bed with my son lead to early puberty?

Answer

If a child sleeps with their parents for long periods, they inevitably come into contact with their parents’ bodies. For the child, this contact might evoke a sense of safety and warmth. However, for older children, it could naturally trigger a physiological response that may produce unhealthy psychological stimulation, especially during this age of curiosity. It may lead to early puberty.
