How do i get my 3 year old son in his own bed?

Answer 1

You sleep with him in his bed then when he falls asleep you go to yours. I think that might work. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

It's high time your tot sleeps in his own bed. Start a bed time routine make a bedtime and stick to it trust me it's hard at first but works. After bathtime tell your child 10min until bed its important to have a countdown system so that the child isn't just pushed into bed. When it is bedtime let him pick a book for you to read this gives him a chance to wind down. Rub his back for about 5 min or so then say your goodnights. he will cry or want a drink or need to potty these are the bedtime games that all children love. If he gets up just keep putting him in his bed this way he knows that daddy and mommy aren't giving in. Kids never go to bed with ease. Just stick to your guns hang in there.

Bedding with his favourite characters on it, let him choose it.

Decorate the room with his help so it feels like his own special room.

Radio in the room for noise, this is soothing for a child.

I used a special clock that had a dog appear at the time I set and taught him he wasn't allowed to wake mummy up until the dog woke up.
It was wonderful and they can be bought in most large department stores.

How about a reward chart, each night he sleeps in his own bed he gets a sticker and when he has a certain amount he gets a toy, if you use a laminated one then after the first couple of times you can take the odd sticker off it.

His teddy or special blanket so he feels safe and secure.

Always be boring when he comes out of his room, give a quick cuddle, say time for sleep, goodnight and leave. He'll soon realise you're boring when its dark and not much fun so is more likely to settle.
Never take him back in your bed or downstairs cos that takes him into the exciting forbidden adult world.

Read this book-- Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child
by Marc Weissbluth
Basically it says you have to carry the kid back to his own bed everytime he comes into yours. One parent had to carry his kid back into his room 167 time the first night, like 110 the second and just a few times on the third night. You have to do it with the right attitude, you can't be angry, just determined.

Answer 5

Hi

I'm not an expert, but a good routine is important - same time each night, story and bed. Then if he wakes and comes into your room, just take him back to his room. Use as little conversation as necessary.

It'll probably take about one week, but he'll realise there's no "reward" for getting up, and no point in doing so.

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

start off by letting him fall asleep in your bed then moving him to his bed. Then slowly tell him that big boys sleep in there own bed and do things to encourage him to sleep in his own bed like read in his room or lay by him in there. eventually ( after a while and enough work on your part) he Will want to sleep in his own bed. Good luck Patience pays off big time

Answer 7

I think you should put him in his own bed read him a story set a timer and when it runs out you leave he will probably play up for a few days but don't give in and once he realises this is how it is he will soon be over it.

Answer 8

First you never should have allowed him in your bed.

That said. Just take him to his bed every time he comes in yours.

This will be a pain and you will lose a lot of sleep but after a week the problem will be gone.

Besides it's your own fault.

Answer 9

Sell or throw away your own bed and sleep standing up at night.


He'll soon realise that his own bed is far preferable to standing in the cold and dark with you.

Answer 10

sounds like my lil bro. My mom slept in his bed with him until he fell asleep then she goes back to her own bed. And she also told my bro that if he didnt sleep in his own bed he wouldn't get his sweet tomorrow. lol now hes 5 and sleeps in his own bed. He only sleeps in my moms bed when my dads out of the country or if my mom is out of the country.

Tell him his bed is the special bed its for big boys and if u dont sleep in it you wont get the tooth fairy coming to you when ur teeth start to fall out.

muahaha

Answer 11

Whats he doing in your bed in the first place???? babes belong in their own space. Put him in his bed, shut the door and let him yell. Every time he gets out of bed, put him back in, shut the door.....you get the picture. Dont give in or this will make it to times worse and he will still be in your bed when he is 10, like my sister-in laws kid.....meanwhile, her husand is in someody elses bed
