[quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry you are dealing with this!! This sounds so hard. I assume you have tried most of this or thought of most is this already but: Is there any possibility at all that you are missing her “window” to fall asleep (and she is overtired and even more wound up by the time you try)? I think my kids went to bed at 7 at that age (no naps). Have you asked ped about melatonin? (No idea if peds recommend it these days) Have you tried any “survival mode” type of techniques just to get some relief and have any worked (lying down with her etc)? I confess that with my “really poor sleeper” we’d sometimes lie down with him in our bed and put on a Disney movie. He’d usually fall asleep after a bit and then parent could leave. Usually we could transfer him successfully to his room when we went to bed. I know screens are not recommended it but honestly we were so exasperated at the time. And eventually he grew out of it.
