Allowing an additional 30 minutes of play before bedtime can lead to overstimulation and delay the child's ability to settle down for sleep. Consistent bedtime routines are crucial for establishing healthy sleep patterns in children.
Letting the child sleep in the parent's bed can create dependency and difficulty in establishing the child's own sleep routine and space. This practice can disrupt both the parent's and child's sleep in the long term.
