[quote=Anonymous]I'm having sleep regression issues with one of my three-year old twins right now and not being able to sleep through the night is hell, so I'm sorry you're going through that.  Do you have one of those lights that goes off when he's allowed to get out of his room?  If not, I would suggest getting one.  He's not allowed to come out until it's green.  He can be awake (and even out of his bed), but he can't get out of his room.  If he does, he goes back in.  If he screams and yells, well, he'll get over that eventually when it doesn't work.  I agree that letting him watch TV is a reward, so of course he's going to keep getting up early.  As far as the middle of the night stuff goes, I'd just make it clear that he needs to sleep through the night like a big boy.  If he's not wearing a pull up then he can go to the bathroom by himself or not at all.  You're not helping him.  Being firm will suck, and it might result in some even worse nights for you and the rest of the family in this short run, but none of this is going to change if you don't take away his incentives for being awake.[/quote]
