[quote=Anonymous]Our 3-year-old was really difficult in this way too. We tried EVERYTHING. His nighttime escapades got so bad we ended up putting a child proof knob lock on the inside of his door and we gave him a three strikes and we close the door. He always got to three strikes. Would have a huge tantrum when we closed the door, but was asleep within 15 minutes. We always reassured him that as soon as he was in bed, the door was opened. Eventually he got a bit older and better but there’s still a crazy lead up to bed (though he stays put). What we found helped a bit was when DH and I didn’t switch off for portions of his bedtime routine. Now we do the exact bedtime routine we always do with me reading and DH singing for example. Honestly, I found this way worse than potty training which was a complete breeze for DS! [/quote]
