HOW DO YOU!

Get a child to sleep in his bed?Landen refuses and wants to sleep with us.Problem we are having is we have a full bed only.There is no room for 3 of us when Landen is in our bed i make a pallet on the floor.Him and Michael both are blanket thieves and they kick and stretch out.I get tired of aching so i sleep on a pallet on the floor.Last night we got Landen to sleep in his bed he has a night light and his sister makes a pallet and sleeps in the room with hm so he don't feel alone.Landen didn't cry last night he went right to his bed and slept all night.
Tonight was very trying.We had to make him go to his bed after he went to ours 3 times.We finally got him in his bed and he cried and cried.I felt awful but also know we all need a good night of rest.Any ideas to make this easier?We never had a bed problem until we moved him to the downstairs bedroom.

Our lives are so parallel. Let me know when you find the answer to this! Jake and Landen are so much alike!

One of us sleeps on the couch... so no success here. :) It works for us though, and we aren't too worried about it.... YET!

I had this issue, BIG TIME with Taylor when she was little. What it took was a week of screaming in her own bed. Everytime she came into our room I would tuck her back into her bed. It was complete misery for all of us for a week but after a week it was well worth it! I would then reward her with "camping" every couple of weeks. Make a camp site in the living room and watch movies, eat popcorn and fall asleep in a huge pile of blankets on the floor. Good luck!
