She has been sleeping fine by herself in her room for some time. However, for the past week she cries and says she hears noises. It does not go by more than 5 min. when she is my room, crying. I tried reading stories, staying in her room for some time, even sleeping in there untill she falls asleep. What else can I do.

I leave lights from her room on, plus all the ones that lead to bathroom, just in case she wants to go. That was her request.

Tell her that you will check on her every few minutes or five min. and do until she falls asleep, set a timer if you need. tell her that you will make sure that she is ok. Maybe see if she wants to sleep w/something. My daughter (4years old) recently did the same thing. It worked for her.. Good luck.

I asked the same question here and The suggestion that I found to be useful was putting a radio in the room. My son would cry and refuse to stay in the room because he said there were monsters. We put a night light in his room bright enough so that he can see everything but not so bright that he can't fall asleep. Having them pick out their own night light seems to work too. I also bought a little radio and leave that on a night so that it isn't so lonely in his room. In the beginning I would stay in his room till he fell asleep. He felt reassured that I would be there if he were to wake up. Now I am able to put him in bed and leave without him making a fuss. We also leave the hall light on and have a night light in the bathroom and we leave our bedroom door cracked so that he can come in if he gets scared. Continue to put her in her bed everynight like you always do and eventually she will feel secure enough to stay in there by herself.

Some thing must have must of scared her. I would not dismiss her to quickly, ask her to tell you what the noise is and then the 2 of you can go and find out what it is. try to sit in her room in the day and play the quite game and see if you can hear it. I would try sticking to a bed time routine, You could even try the trick of spraying water in the room to make it safe.
Good luck getting a full nights sleep!!

Something has changed...maybe she heard a scary story or saw something on tv(too many movie commercials on before 8pm) Try to get her to tell you exactly what she is afraid of....a large sticky monster will come out from under my bed when you leave.... also I suggest playing music or maybe a book on tape for her. Leave a light on ...even giving her a flashlight so she feels in control. Try to not stay in the room until she falls asleep!

Can she clarify why she hates her room? Do you deliver her there as a punishment? Is she afraid of monsters? My mom used to enable me use the monster spray(aka air freshener) earlier going to mattress reason it repelled monsters all night. vibrant imaginations are area of being a toddler, lol, my 3 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous is commencing that, we could desire to constantly close her closet at night or she freaks out. She additionally nonetheless makes use of her soother everynight, it is thoroughly under her administration, so she will turn it on and rancid as she needs, and it gives you a gentle mild and track to help her stay calm. try having a communicate approximately what she hates, and see how superb to clean up it. tricky, even though it is performed. solid success!

if she is afraid of monsters in the closet, before she goes to bed, go in the closet and 'look for monsters' so that she will know nothing is there. if she is scared of monsters under her bed, clean everything out from under it so nothing is there. supervise what she watches on tv. if she has older siblings, tell them to be sensitive and not to scare her. if she is afraid of the dark, take her to a store to pick out a 'nightlight' a light of her own, that she gets to pick out, make it special. or hang little lanterns in her room. decorative and still provides the light she needs to sleep. dont make it a habit to sleep with her, she think thats ok and never sleep in her own bed. good luck!

Sleep in your room with your daughter. The entire night! That way you may be able to hear what she hears.
There could be something in the walls. She could have tinnitus (mine is worse when I lay down and it is spooky sometimes, but I know what it is).
