[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you posters really close the door and leave your 3 year old alone to fall asleep? Even my 8 years does not tolerate falling asleep with the door closed. She wants to hear me nearby and doesn't want to be in the room alone. Y'all have very stoic children to close the door at bedtime.[/quote]

We keep the doors open at bedtime and close time when we go to bed several hours later (fire safety).

When my kids went through the ridiculous delaying bedtime tactic crap, having an open door was a privilege. If they screamed and acted out then yes door closed. I always opened it when they were calm. And I didn't do this when they were scared, only when they were being defiant. We had months of the delay and miserable bedtimes and once we cracked down and put our foot down it would take 2-3 days and then the drama was over and we wished we had done it earlier. All this rushing in to comfort and comply is just making you AND your kids more miserable. Stop dragging it out. [/quote]
