I'm in need of some input on how to get my 3 1/2 yr old to stay in her bed the whole night. I've tried the sleeping bag on our floor but she just throws a fit and I give in and sleep in her bed with her. I also have a 9month old and I don't want her yelling to wake up the baby.
This is our routine. I lay with her till she goes to sleep at 7:30 then I go to bed around 11:00 I usually wake up sometime after midnight to find her curled up next to me and my husband, as soon as I move her back to her bed she wakes up about ten minutes later and is back in our room. What else should I do? She tells me that she is scared. I'm wondering if its because she needs me to lay with her till she falls asleep at night and is thinking that I'm gonna be there all night. I need some help pleasssse.
