Hi. My almost 3 year old and my 4 year old often come into my bed at night. Although I love cuddling with them, I would like this to stop.
They both understand my telling them at bedtime that they must remain in their own bed... but ... my daughter wakes up and comes to my bed and wakes me up. If I take her back to her bed, she just doesn't seem to fall asleep again. Lying cramped next to her in her bed for almost an hour each time.. Kills my back, so I end up taking her to my bed, where she is asleep in seconds. My 4 year old son is as quiet as a mouse and I don't even hear him getting into my bed. I only know he is there if the 2 of them start fighting over who gets to lie next to me or when I wake up in the morning.
I have a reward chart going at the moment and this is one of the items on it. They love getting a star if they stay in their bed all night. But I think both of them have only remained in their own beds once this week.
Any ideas please?
Thanks. xxx
