Hey,

Things in the world can be scary or confusing for a 5 year old.

I read a psychology article the other day that was talking about how common it is that children around the age of 5 to want to go back into nappies, around that age is the first real growing up a child does, starting school, expected to be more socially responsible and its often the time that parents begin to discipline child with full consequences for their actions. the conclusion of the article was that it would not be harmful to indulge the child (albeit for very short periods) as long as it is done in a constructive way and there is full understanding on both sides that it will be for so long and no longer etc. and the parents don't rely on it as a way to sort out their kids problems and don't allow the kids to rely on it as a regular fall back method. Of course I'm sure there is probably a similar article out there saying the exact opposite

That describes me perfectly.
