how did you handle when your kid(s) went through the phase where they do not want to sleep, and if you lay them down they scream and scream and scream and will not go to sleep. I think I need to just let them fall asleep, but it is torture to hear them cry like that. ☹ ---

I found this just now: "Crying During the Night Some babies make a game of calling out for you or dropping toys out of the crib for you to pick up. Other babies cry after you put them to bed. Check on your baby, but keep the lights dim and don’t pick him up. If baby is ok, put him on his tummy, pat his back for a minute or two, and leave. If you try this for a few weeks and baby still wakes up and cries during the night, you may try letting them cry. Here is a way that works for many parents. Pick a weekend night. When baby cries, check on him and rub or pat baby’s back, then tell him you’ll be back in 10 minutes. Check on baby every 10 minutes even if he is not still crying, until he falls back to sleep. It probably won’t take more than a night or two to end the habit for good. Letting baby cry like this can be hard on you. Be sure you’re up to it. Baby may cry for hours. If you give in after an hour, you could be training him to cry for longer periods. The goal is to help baby learn to sleep on his own. " ---
