Step one...Time for bed.

Step Two...Tough Love!

Step Three...Stay In Bed!

Step 4...Distance yourself!

She has two other technique's she uses also to put the kids to bed but I have used this and it works. Has anyone else used this?

Bed time

***Make a set time for bed time

***Develop a bedtime routine: bath, brush teeth, read a book.

***Place in their bed, kiss goodnight



### Sit on the floor next to their bed.

###If they get out of bed, place them back in bed

###Do not talk at any time, keep silent at all times

###No eye contact at any time

The other way you can try is what I have used more after the routine(follow the first three rules then)...

@@@Sit in a nearby room

@@@If they get out of bed, place them back in bed and go back out without talking or looking at him/ her

The first couple night will take laonger and they will know you mean business but after a while you will win.

we have a routine, although it has fallen through the holiday cracks.

now that logan is in a toddler bed we close the door so he can't get out once he is put down

I kinda do this but I don't stay in the room with them. If they get out of bed I do return them to it and keep a schedule etc. However, since the kids have been on break I have really slacked with Payton and last night was a struggle. Hopefully tonight will be easier.

We do this too .. but the holiday's have allowed a little slack. This week we are back on schedule .. I fold laundry in the bedroom while Kale falls asleep. It works out great for both of us!

It didn't work and I did it for months. I'm trying something new now.

Usually we don't have a problem at all but the last week little man Justin has been at our door more and more. They get a movie each night at bedtime and it seems when the movie is over, he comes downstairs to tell me. Brandon says it is cos he is scared of the dark and when the movie is off, the TV turns off. Last night he didn't get up, so hopefully it was a phase that is over now. But I carry his little butt back into the room and put him in bed. Last week, one night I just didn't answer the door after the 3rd time (he can't get our door to open) and he just went back upstairs and got back into bed bawling. I did go up after a few minutes, since I felt bad.
