[quote=Anonymous]we are 11 here (also three years).  It takes him about 30 minutes of laying in bed quietly (with us beside him!) in the dark to fall asleep - it just takes him a while (me too - even as a elementary child it took me 30 minutes to an hour from putting my head down to sleep).  And getting him to where he will lay in bed quietly and not romp around has been an ordeal.  We are doing 30-45 minutes of book reading now with lights low before turning off the lights- and that seems to help as done the "threat" that if he doesn't lay still his dad will pick him up and dance him  (? no clue why he responds to that - it isn't a punishment but just how we used to help him settle down when he was younger.  Maybe because it takes him out of bed with me?).  He isn't in preschool yet and sleeps till 9 or 10am, so I am hoping when we have a 7:00 or 7:15 morning wake-up that everything will get pushed back and we'll have a 9pm asleep boy.  What I suspect is that we'll have a longer nap so that we are just looking at 10:00 rather than 11:00.  But at this point, 10:00 seems like a gift.

Good luck.[/quote]
