We were unhappy with the cry-it-out method and rolled our own step-by-step approach. Step by step is often a good idea because it keeps the child in its Zone of Proximal Development, and that avoids local optima and allows the child to really get it. It requires more work from the parents, and I agree with Jeff that zombie parents probably can’t do that.
