put her in her bed and start staying in there with her until she sleeps. whether it be just sitting in the chair reading or sleeping or what ever. you can leave after she goes to bed. eventually she will just naturally go to her room for sleep.

Sorry, but he best things was to never allow that to begin in the first place, but since that is no longer a viable option.....I suggest that you pick a day and tell your daughter when it is gonna happen to make the "change" in sleeping arrangements. Perhaps buy her a new stuffed animal friend to sleep with on that day, make a whole big trip out of it, so that it is in her mind a whole lot that day and wont be surprised at bedtime because she forgot about it. Then the hard part for you, you must stick to your decision, if you relent and let her back in your bed, then your battle is lost and you wont get her out till she wants to go.
GOOD LUCK!

slowly
with naps as already suggested
do you know that recent research suggests that letting her sleep with you up until 24 months is a great way to ensure she does not suffer anxiety as an adult - so you can gently and slowly transition her over the next 6-7 months
and that let her tell you when she wants the transition to be made
dotn force it - also dont put her in her bed when asleep as she will be stressed if she wakes in a strange environment
as long as you are both getting good sleep and you dont drink or smoke it is healthy!

ok pick a day when your going to start then try to tire her out keep her awake all day after tea give her a bath then put her into her own bed sit at the side on the floor stroking her head but do NOT speak to her after that when she gets up in the morning really praise her for sleeping in her own bed do the same every night but bit by bit move away from her until you end up sat near the door then eventually you go out & leave her if she gets out of bed just pick her up & say ( bed now ) & put her back in bed but do not say anything else to her. it wont be easy but if you keep trying she will get use to it. good luck

I pulled the mattress out of my daughter's crib and put on the floor in our room and got her used to sleeping there and then moved her into her own big girl toddler bed.

tell her you are both going to sleep and lay near her in her bed, sing or soothe her until she falls asleep, then leave her there. i remember i really thought my mom was going to sleep at the same time as me in my bedroom for years when i was little. it will seem like a change in bedrooms rather than abandoning her to an empty bed.

little kids can be like that sometimes. when she falls asleep on ure bed carry her bak to her bed. if she has a bed u should try goin to sleep with her in her bed until she falls asleep then u can go to ure bed and u can go to sleep. if she has a crib then just stand beside her and get her to fall asleep.

give her a lot of warning before bedtime. read books, remind her how long until bed, etc. then make sure her room is comfy, cozy, safe, etc. when you put her down to sleep give her lots of love then put her in her room. close the door. the 1st time she comes out give her one hug then back in bed. the 2nd time look at her in the eyes and say its time for bed sweetie, then bed. third time dont make eye contact and put her directly into bed. repeat third step for as long ats it takes--usually a long time the 1st night. DONT GIVE IN! and don't give up....this could lead to separation probelms later in life stay strong and she'll thank you for it later.

Atleast, allow her to sleep with you till she attains 5 years, when she starts using her brain.
Then, slowly make her to sleep on her own bed and she learns.

ouch... you're 16 1/2 months late at starting her into that routine
i'd try letting her tough it out and cry for 10 minutes and go in and reassure her and add 5 min each time... she's bound to pass out. the next week is going to be heck... i hope you have lots of vacation time coming to you
