Yes, it's normal. SHe's probably going through a growth spurt right now and has lots of extra energy because of it. One thing I used to do with my nephew (now 16) and my own daughter (Now 6) is to let them burn up as much energy as they had after dinner. We would let them run laps around the house as much as they wanted until they tired out,then they slept through the night no problem. Why not turn off the tv and turn tv time into after-dinner playtime and burn up some of your own energy too? You will sleep better as well.
Bundle up well, go outside, and walk through the neighborhood and look at all the Christmas and holiday decorations in your neighborhood. Walk the dog if you have one. Stop and pat the neighborhood cats. Say hi to your neighbors walking their own dogs. You will be surprised at how much goes on in your neighborhood after dinner when eveyone is sitting around watching tv. Your daughter will love it - especially if you make it a habit. My daughter now 6 has walked the dogs with me every night after dinner since she was born and we have seen all kinds of things and met all kinds of people and we both sleep better at night when we burn up extra energy.

Toddlers are creatures of habit and routine.
This is normal
Read about this and used this well
Set up a bedtime routine. First with bath and maybe a gentle massage.
Allow her to select bed time story books.
Read to her for 15 mins and then tuck her in to bed.
If she starts to talk tell her it is night night time.

Gradually move yourself away and out of the room.

You may have to experiment . First 2-3 days by her bed. Second 2-3 days by the door. and so forth down the hallway and that really helped.

This may seems to be a lot but it will really helped out!!!!
Good Luck because I know how crazy it is!!!

Google "youngster sleep suggestions" probably consistency is the reply while seeking to get children to sleep, nonetheless, if some thing isn't running, you ought to take a look at some thing else after a at the same time. There is also matters you must difference, perhaps take a seat within the room with him till he is going again to sleep rather of bringing him into your room. It will suck, however he's going to be trained ultimately that he demands to sleep in his possess mattress. It sounds love it's simply dependancy at this factor, no longer always the tooth. Hang in there and well success!

My son went through a phase like that. If she is teething, has an ear infection, or soemthing quite like that. You may need to talk to her doctor about it if it continues.
