Mum believes Asima may become demanding and selfish like many Australian children and doesn't want her daughter to sleep in the cot room because she feels she will become spoilt.

You cannot place the cot in the playroom as it may become a safety risk to others. Instead of a cot you could suggest a toddler bed and other children may go to be around the same time as Asima as well...

Hope this helps,
