Hmm... for us we have set up a rule since he was a baby that he will not sleep with us on our bed. That's just the way it is....The rule can only be bended if we were traveling.</p> <p>Another thing that really helped is, we got one of these clocks that turns green in the morning at a set time. Say, if I set it to 7:30am to turn green, my DS can not come into our room and/or wake us up until the clock turns green. If he comes in before the clock turns green then he will lose all the videos for the day (he gets 3x 3 minute videos in the morning, and maybe 1-3 videos at night). We enforce the rule and it has been working out pretty good so far. We started with the clock thing when he was 2.5+ years old? We are now 3.5 years old.</p> <p>You have to be very strict though. If you bend your own rules for just one day, you can go back to square one.</p> <p>Good luck to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-a-child-to-stay-in-their-bed#post-2197454 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 07:33:07 +0000 Mamaof2 2197454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: oh man! I can offer sympathy :sad: </p> <p>I went thru this with my DS - I tried putting him back to bed and he kept coming back in my bed - I finally gave up because I felt like I had a newborn all over - I wasn't sleeping at all and was exhausted.</p> <p>So for 7 months he slept with us.</p> <p>After that I was DONE - I told him that he had to start off in his bed but after he woke he could come in our bed.</p> <p>Then we changed it to you can come in our bed only if its after 4am (he had a clock)</p> <p>We also implemented rewards for staying in bed.</p> <p>Finally he started staying in bed and STTN.</p> <p>It was such a process :bummed: </p> <p>note: he was older than your DD though - he was 5 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-a-child-to-stay-in-their-bed#post-2197413 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 05:16:30 +0000 mediagirl 2197413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is every morning now.
