[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my. I hate to say this, but grow some balls. There are no monsters, stop feeding into it with a spray bottle. Put him in bed and lock the door. Do not go back in until morning. Let him cry, let him bang, let him scream. Until he gets it together, the younger one sleeps in your room. It will last a couple days to a week and he will get it. He is manipulating you and you are falling for it. He doesn't need a hug, to be covered, etc at night. Same goes for nap time. Praise him when he wakes up. [/quote]

I can't put younger one in my room because a) he sleeps great in his own bed and won't want to sleep on our bed, plus it's not safe, we have a pretty high bed. B) our rooms are all together on the 2nd floor and you'd be able to hear my oldesthollering outside, he's that loud. Also, I am not locking him in his room again. Did it once and he got so upset he was almost hyperventilating, he said that he thought I had left him behind and that it made him "so sad". It broke my heart. There's got to be a better way. He's generally a great kid aside from the sleeping issue. [/quote]
