I have a two year old and she will not sleep in her own room! Its beautifully decorated, and she refuses to even play in it alone. Is it too soon to take her from my room? She has slept in my room (in her own bed) since she was born, and now she sleeps in a playard in my room since she refuses to stay in her toddler bed...

Take her into her room, make her lay on her bed as if she was going to sleep and then rub her back until she falls asleep. Make sure you tell her that you will be there until she falls asleep and that when she wakes up, you'll be right down the hallway. I do this all the time with the kids I babysit, it works.

I am in the same situation with my 2 year old. I started just putting him in his room, when he comes out, just politely take him back. He came out a total of 5 times. After the 5th time, I told him that he was going to get in trouble if he got back out that bed. I turned the TV on in his room and turned the volume down real low and told him night, night. He fell right to sleep.
You will just have to keep doing the same thing every night. She will eventually stay in there.

It seems such as you have tried an excellent sort of robust issues. in line with possibility attempt putting him back in his mattress each and every time he's presented on your room. i be conscious of it somewhat is going to shrink into your sleep yet attempt to do it with no need pissed off. which will in hassle-free terms misery him greater advantageous. you may tell him if he sleeps all evening in his mattress you will take him to a favorite place to consume day after right this moment or to the playground. (be helpful to hold up your element of the coolest purchase). If he doesnt sleep in his mattress that evening dont punish him yet dont take him everywhere particular the two. Then attempt it returned the subsequent evening with a similar promise. whilst he finally does sleep in his room do what you promised. Then tell him after he sleeps in his room for 2-3 nights in a row you will take him to a action picture or hire his famous video, or something like that. THen develop the time to each week, 2 weeks, a month, 6 mos....you get the image. After a while you wont ought to advantages because of the fact he would be used to sound asleep by myself. some human beings will think of that's spoiling a new child however the finished purpose of having young babies is to coach them with love no longer scare them into something. Its in comparison to he's being undesirable. yet another little suggestion...in case you may discover the money for to try this..take him to the shop and enable him %. out a bedspread and sheets that he likes and in line with possibility which will help him sense greater mushy in his room. solid success.

well, sleep in her room for a few days until she feels safe by herself. if she still does not feel safe, turn on a nightlight so she will not be afraid to sleep there. if i did not help, i am sorry. but if i we're a mother, that is what i would do. read some books about children, ask questions to other parents. there are many ways.

You allowed it all this time.......it will be hard to break....but it can be done. You'll have to be persistent though... It can take days to correct. Every time she comes to your bed take her back to her bed - reassure her as a mother would that she's safe, loved and that this is her bed and stuff animals etc. - it will take a long time perhaps all night long and with persistence from you by taking her back to her bed every time she comes to yours - she'll eventually will know. If you feel sorry cause she's crying and wants your bed and you allow it - you'll have to start all over again.

Tie them down to the bed.
Seriously, you have to sit in there with her until she falls asleep. if she wakes up in the middle of the night, take her back and stay with her until she falls asleep again. It's hard work, but the only way. Give her a nightlight if that helps.

I know how hard it is, but just keep taking her back to her room. Let her cry it out. It will cause some sleepless nights guaranteed, but it will be worth it in the end.

perhaps just putting her in there and insisting that she stay. thats what i did with my son. it's just like if they are newborns you just have to let them cry, until they fall asleep. it's hard especially when its your first. find some music or put a television in her room and find her favorite cartoon and let her know when it's over she should be asleep. get her to like something in his room.
