My friend had doorknob covers that had to be pinched and turned to open otherwise they just spun around the doorknob. So after she put her 2 yr old to bed and shut the door, he couldn't get it open again.I need some advise on keeps 2 year in his bed at nite and not waking up to come to mama and daddy bed?
Supernanny's method is fantastic. Just keep returning him to bed, no eye contact, no talking axcept maybe ''It's bedtime''. It is hard work but the message gets through eventually.
Also even though he is two it is still worth having a look at 'Contented little baby' book by Gina Ford. I used it with my second child from about 6 months. It is about teaching them to get off to sleep on their own etc. Anyway the only thing I can say is that is worked for me and I can't recommend it enough. Give it a go %26amp; good luck!I need some advise on keeps 2 year in his bed at nite and not waking up to come to mama and daddy bed?
maybe he just feels the need to be close to you, you know that kind of ';protected,safe'; feeling little kids get. i'm only 13, so i dont know much, but i'd say lye with him on his bed until he falls asleep and when he does go into your bed.. or if you'd like, on some nights you can move his bed into your room. tell him ';johnny, mommy and daddy need their alone time';. he might not understand but he's going to have too.
Take him back to his bed and say ';its bedtime now..i love you'; then next time ';Its bedtime'; then take him to bed and say nothing...Keep doing this over and over until they stay in bed.
It sounds harsh..but it works :)
Hope i helped/thats what you ment!!
make sure that they have some kind of ';friend'; with them. Get a stuffed animal, or something, just something to make them feel not alone. =)
