I think this is easy to manage when the kid is in a crib and they can't get out, but becomes more of a challenge when they are older. How do you keep them in the bed and not in the playroom part? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playroom-in-room#post-18250 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:20:01 +0000 Rosie Girl 18250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of DS's toys are in his room. He knows when he goes to bed that he doesn't get to play anymore and we have never had problems with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playroom-in-room#post-18247 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:17:19 +0000 Miss Godiva 18247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have a play room growing up, our toys belonged in our room. I understood that bedtime was bedtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playroom-in-room#post-17753 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 12:43:28 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 17753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny we were just talking about this! I shared a room with my younger brother until I was about 9 because we lived in a 2 BR apartment. I thought it was great. I am hoping to have a dedicated playspace once we 2 kids, but that means they'll have to share rooms (which may make for poorer sleep) or we have to find space in our house (part of our basement or living room). Mrs. Bee suggestion is a good one-- creating a partition for play. Right now, our play space is the living room since we haven't furnished it yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playroom-in-room#post-17744 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 12:30:07 +0000 Mrs. Bee 17744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>olive is sleeping in charlie's room now, but when they switch charlie's room will be a playroom. we don't know if it'll affect his sleep since we haven't made the switch yet, but i think it'll be ok!</p> <p>you could try to partition the room maybe with curtains so that there's a separate playspace and sleeping space? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playroom-in-room#post-17720 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 11:41:26 +0000 cyndistar3 17720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of our daughters toys are in her room. We haven't really had any problems. She understands that bed time is bed time. However when we get a bigger house we might do a seperate play room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playroom-in-room#post-17696 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 11:08:53 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 17696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because of bebe 2, we have to move a lot of things in the house, meaning we are moving to the basement and Mavrick is getting our room for his toddler room. Clearly the room is too big for a dresser and single bed, so we were thinking of splitting the room and making it a playroom.</p> <p>That way when we are having dinner, then they can play in the room (rather than in the living room where there is no space) I know I have to consider that sleeping doesn't equal playtime, but I don't see how else we can do it. </p> <p>Plus, I'm sure we can educate the kids so that they understand sleep and play. When we were young, my mom opted to put my sister and I in the same room so that the other room was a playroom altogether, but I don't want to combine my son and bebe 2 at those early stages (even more so if she's a girl) </p> <p>Does anyone have a playroom in their kids' bedroom? What are your thoughts on the subject? </p>
