[quote=Anonymous]This happened with us too! I felt bad being "strict" but the more lenient we were with our dd, the more anxious she got about getting up and seeing how long she could keep us in her room. When we got stricter about it, it got better and she rarely wakes up in the middle of the night now. I would start with immediate gratification rewards at first, a new book or sticker sheet (yay dollar store!) first thing in the morning if he sttn. We did this for about a week to get our dd to realize she's okay with sttn and it helped her realize she COULD do it, and then from there we had a weekly reward chart, and then when that fizzled out we were just really strict with it, no words, no anger, just lead her back over and over again. We did threaten taking away TV times a few times. Now a wake up is so rare that we truly believe she's scared, it's not a pattern and of course we attend to her. [/quote]
