In fact, he prefers his bed. My husband and I have always slept solo. It is hard when we travel though because he likes his bed. My issue is getting him to bed. My son is so active, he cries when we put him down. I think he feels there's a party going on when we put him down. I’ve never had a problem with my son sleeping in his own room.

She gets herself to sleep most nights but wakes needing drinks at about 2am, I swear it because we wake her up somehow. Anyway, I enjoyed looking on your blog!

(really time consuming) I tried the sit by the bed technique and it didn't work, it was hell! He cried and got up every second it was very tiring to keep getting up so I gave up and figured he wasn't mature enough to understand yet. (we had also just moved to a new house) I waited a month or so for him to feel more at home and tried it again. Stayed in his room and moved closer to the door every day. It was like magic. It ended up working within 2 nights. So move forward a year and my son has regressed he keeps getting out of bed over and over and doesn't end up going to bed until 10:00! So I looked up what to do and found your article the second I told him I would get him a new truck if he stayed in bed and went to sleep for a week he stayed in bed and fell asleep within minutes! YAY! .-= Zoe´s last blog ..<a href="http://sleepymoondesign.blogspot.com/2010/10/my-scout-magazine.html">My SCOUT Magazine</a> =-.

My eldest child used to have terrible night mares when he was about 4, but they went away as soon as they came. Sleep bed time routine is so important i think. I have always stuck to them and have been lucky enough to have no problems. Hi,

I would get to tired to bring him back too. I had him come up with something HE really wanted and then used that as incentive, letting him know he needed to stay in his bed all night. Another thing I have done, which is a bit of a pain, but got my kids in a better sleep pattern, was I would go to their room when they woke, I wouldn't allow them to come to my bed and I would go to their room when they woke up. If your son is in a toddler bed then lay down next to him on the floor when he wakes up. If he is in a twin bed it's a little easier to just lay next to them when they wake up. I do that with my daughter who is 4 now. She mostly will sleep through the night now. Yvonne-I know how difficult that is-our 6 year old used to do that for a while!!

He can climb over baby gate and I do not want to lock him in his room as that feels too much like making him a prisoner!! He just climbs in with us usually around 3 - 4 in the morning but fidgets around keeping us awake. Taking him back to his room just becomes repetitive. Any ideas ?? bribery does'nt work with him No trouble getting son aged 3.5 to go to bed but getting him to stay there all night is the problem!!
