The "No Tears Method" is a gentle approach to teaching children how to sleep independently. It focuses on creating a comforting bedtime routine without letting the child cry excessively. Instead of traditional sleep training methods that may involve letting a child cry it out, this method emphasizes reassurance and gradual separation. Parents using the No Tears Method often implement strategies like soothing bedtime rituals, consistent sleep schedules, and positive reinforcement. The goal is to help children feel secure and relaxed, making it easier for them to fall asleep on their own without distress. This method is often associated with parenting philosophies like those of Dr. William Sears.
