[quote=Anonymous]My kid is 3.5 and we did a pseudo CIO that worked great but they eventually grow and realize they can just get out of bed and everything goes to sh*t. Just wanted to mention it so you don’t think CIO would’ve saved you from this. ;) What’s worked with my son recently - and it all may change tomorrow - is letting him bring a couple of toys/books into bed. He can stay up and play/read but he has to stay in bed. We got him a toy/night light that is safe to have in bed, shuts off after an hour, and it seems to get him excited to stay in bed. So maybe try to create some sort of bed-only environment (a tent, flashlight, books, toys) that he gets as long as he stays in bed? It’s also never too late for some sort of sleep training. The sleep lady shuffle book worked on our older sun - maybe try it with your younger son to help him adjust to you not being in the room? It’s rough OP, hang in there. Good luck. [/quote]
