A member asked:
When i put my four year old to bed, she literally talks herself to sleep. will this mess with her mental capacity ?

No...: Talking herself to sleep and talking in her sleep are not any indication that there is currently or will be any issue with her mental capacity. Listen outside the door ;) It could be quite telling and fun to hear what is on her mind.

NO: If that works for her as a self settling routine, it is fine.
