how do you get a 2yr old out of your bed and in a toddler bed.I know thats so bad that he is still in my bed.?

Answer 1

It's not bad that he's still in your bed, that's where he feels safe and happiest. None of my boys ever wanted to sleep in my bed and it made me sad.
If you want to move him, start out slow. Go and find a bed that he likes and let him help decorate his 'big boy' room. Get a normal bedtime routine going that ends with him in his room in the new bed. Being alone in a room can be intimidating so buy a nightlight and leave his door open. If he sneaks back into your bed at night, quickly and gently escort him back to his. It may take some time, but he will get used to it. Good luck!

Answer 2

Make bed time fun like an adventure. Make a routine for bedtime and stick with it. It may take a few days and there may still be times that he will want to sleep with mommy and daddy, but make sure that you encourage him to sleep in his own bed afterwards. After his first night in his own bed make a big deal out of it and tell him what a big boy he is. Hopefully he will become excited about his own bed. I don't believe it makes you a bad parent for letting him sleep in the bed with you. I would say it was a comfort for you and him for him to be with you in the beginning. Just stay consistent and you will be successful. Good luck!

make their room fun looking, bright, colorful including the bedding..pick their favorite thing such as dolls, trucks, or their favorite character and do the room in that theme....put a best friend such as teddy bear, or another type of stuffed animal etc that they can snuggle up to sleep with

make a big fuss over how nice the bear is for example say

awwwwwwwwwwww mr teddy you are so nice and soft...how about a hug...hug the bear and then say something like....oh you want to give (child's name) a hug too?? Okay and then have them hug the child and build a friendship with them

also leave a light on in the hall or a nightlight in the room...they will be more likely to start getting used to the sleeping alone....

they will try to get out of it the first few nights or week but stick with it and you will suceed

Answer 4

Its not bad at all. Most of the rest of the world sleep with their children. It is a survival mechanism from prehistory.

If you really must get him out of your bed (I had to when my daughter was about 2.5 because I was getting awful headaches from contorting to her wild sleeping poses;-) You can put the toddler bed next to yours, then gradually move it across the room. Eventually my daughter got her own room and we had a routine of reading a story in her bed every night until she was sleepy.

Answer 5

dont cut him/her off cold turkey because that wont be fun for either of you when its bed time. start of gradually and if they understand the concept of rewarding good behavior try that.
i had that same problem when i was a toddeler.
put them in a bed they can't climb out of and put a monitor in their room, when they cry ( and they will cry) go in and DO NOT pick them up this teaches them that you are always going to help them, not picking them up will teach them indapendance. my parent used to tell me that when the squeezed my hands it ment they loved me and i would just go right back to sleep, also try putting their cri in your room and then move it into their room,

Answer 6

when he is in a deep sleep move him into his own bed. start when he takes a nape and then at night i just broke my 7 month old
