we cant get are 2 year old boy to stay in hes bed at night the bed is running out of space as he gets bigger?

Answer 1

Would you please get the child a bigger bed and give a solution to your big problem?

Answer 2

find out why he jumps in your bed. fear of dark? fear of being alone? give him a night light and a book, tell him that a special rug is by his bed to disintegrate all bad guys, tell him that if he can stay in his bed all night he can have a special treat. (new bed linens) Power Rangers, Lion King. Put a chair under the nob of his closet door so the boogie man cannot get out. Take your pick, it is a crap shoot finding the right solution as all kids are different. Good luck. Our twins were almost 4 when they stopped coming into our bed.

Answer 3

my son goes through phases like that. he's now 5. now it's because he's terrified of the dark and thinks that witches and monsters are coming to get him. (thanks to stories his father tells and movies that he watches in front of them. so all of the monitoring i've done here at home has been a wasted effort!!) it's possible that there's a reason for it. try a night light if there isn't one already. or try taking him back to his room when he comes in there and maybe sit with him a couple minutes and then return to your room. it's fairly normal for kids to go through these stages. my guess is he hasn't too long been in a 'big boy' bed since he's two and it could just be him getting used to the fact there aren't bars around him as he sleeps. i think a lot of kids feel some form of security in their cribs and when they switch to toddler beds it's almost like they feel vulnerable. but i would try taking him back to his bed when he climbs in bed and see if that works.

Answer 4

It's a normal thing for a child that age to do. I notice that my daughter does it the most when we've had a busy week and she hasn't had much one on one time.

If it's a nightly thing, you just have to keep putting him back in his bed. Eventually he'll stop coming in because he knows he's going to end up right back in his bed.

Or you could buy yourself a king size bed...ha ha!

Answer 5

If he has one of those crib sized toddler beds you need to invest in a twin size or double size bed for him. If he's falling out use a guard rail, put one side up against a wall. Give him a teddy bear "with special powers" that will make all the monsters afraid to be in his room.

Answer 6

As children get older, their attitude may change too! Parents have to go through this inevitable phenomenon!

Answer 7

I am feeling you. But I am happy to see he smiling face each day.
