i had the same problem with my daughter, u just have to leave her in her bed, is she still in a crib?? make a bed time and stick with it!! it also helps to remind her when bedtime is commin then on ur way to put her to bed say goodnight to things an have her say good night to them as well.. it took me 3 wks to get my daughter on a schedule but now all i say is its time for bed and she goes to bed!! she is 2 now, but i remember these probs.. mine used to puke so she could get outta bed and get a bath, then i tok her to the doc and she said to make her sleep in it and i didnt want to cuz it sounded horrible.. but one night she puked and after she fell asleep i went in there and made sure she wasnt lying in it and she hasnt puked in her bed since!! but i reccomend gettin on a night time schedule, if u give her a bath at night try to give it to her around the same time and let her take a stuffed animal to bed with her... oh yea i used to tell my daughter when i laid her down "momma will be right back i gotta go get something" she would just get bored waiting on me and would fall asleep.. i never lied to her i just came back after she was sleeping .. lol.. i really hope this helps cuz i know what ur goin thru!!

Let her scream and kick. If you do not stop this type of behavior then it will get worse and worse and she will end up telling you what to do and even to shut up. You'll have to enforce the role of disciplinarian and don't let her have her way. If she gets up you put her back down. As far as constantly needing to see you that's something that she will have to stop too. Give her some alone time away from you. Keep her in sight but not under you. I've been through a lot with three children and I'm not just talking about something that I have no experience with like some people will.

Leaving her to scream and kick is sometimes something you have to do. But before you go through all that stress make sure you have a solid bedtime routine. Take at least 30 minutes to an hour of comfort time, like do her bath, then get dressed, have a cuddle, and try reading her a couple very short books. The lay her down and leave the room. it will be stressfull for a whil,e but she'll get used to it. :0

My son does the same thing and he is 20 months. We are in a routine at night. We have him pick up his toys then a bath. After the bath we turn down the lights, turn off the TV, and sit in a rocker and read for a while. This helps calm him down. By the time I put him to bed he still screams but only for a minutes. Maybe you should try that. Hope it helps. Take Care honey.

The thing is being consent. Same time and same routine everyday. It is hard the first week or so but they learn it and go with it. After lunch, take them to the bathroom and straight to bed and after dinner it's bath time and after that she can play for about 1 hour with a glass of milk and then the bathroom and straight to bed. They are going to cry but do not again do not give in. If you give in then they win the fight. My child is almost 2 and does not fight me any more when it is nap time or bed time and that is how I won the battle.

My daughters did the same thing, but once you have a routine she will get used to it. I always do bath time close to bed time. Then i let them pick a story/cartoon/board game (depending on age) they know when the story/cartoon is over its time for bed. This also gets them to calm down a bit so they are not so wound up from the day. For your little one story time might work best. Its hard at first....Good luck!

Just pick an bedtime routine, stick to it consistantly, and let her cry. I used to use bed time as time to go for a walk since my husband could handle the crying and I just wanted to go hold her. It worked great for my daughter...she caught on quick that bedtime was bedtime and stopped the behavior within a couple weeks.

This is normal behavior......just let her scream kick and cry. It won't hurt to have her work out her lungs. She'll eventually go to sleep. Don't give in to her, or you'll have to start back at square one. Best of luck to you.

It's normal separation anxiety. You have to just put her to bed, leave the room, and not go back till morning. Anything else and you will establish some VERY bad habits that will be harder and harder to break as she gets older. Break them NOW.
