The majority of behavioural sleep interventions for young children (defined as 5 years of age or less) involve extinction procedures where parents must ignore their child's cries for a period. Many parents have difficulties implementing and maintaining these procedures, leading to attrition, non-compliance and treatment avoidance. Yet the reasons for these methods being difficult to implement for parents have not been well understood or addressed in the literature. In fact, they are being ignored. We discuss that understanding and addressing parental concerns may enable better targeted sleep interventions.
大多数针对幼儿（定义为5岁及以下）的行为睡眠干预措施都涉及消退程序，在此期间父母必须忽略孩子的哭闹一段时间。许多父母在实施和维持这些程序时遇到困难，导致治疗中断、不依从和回避治疗。然而，这些方法对父母来说难以实施的原因在文献中尚未得到充分理解或探讨。事实上，它们一直被忽视。我们讨论了理解和解决父母的担忧可能会促成更有针对性的睡眠干预措施。
