How to make a 5 year old sleep through the night in their own bed.....
Finally, after years and long nights, DS goes to bed quickly in his own room! BUT he still wakes up each night and crawls into bed with me. I think that this is now just habit of him waking up and not that he is scared or anything.
How do you make your child stay in bed all night long? Give me some methods to try.

LOL Don't think I'm ready for that commitment yet :)
Quoting Katenemsmom:
My friend got her daughter a dog to sleep with. It worked.

Duct tape. Seriously though I used to have one night where we'd all snuggle in the bed and fall asleep. It was Friday nights. The rest of the time they stayed in their own beds. They had to. If they got in my bed I'd send them back.
did you get up with them and put them back down? How did you manage to wake up enough to do it? I need my game face and plan of action here :)

Persistence? When your child comes into your bed you need to send the message that it's not ok. Take your child back to their bed to sleep. It may take time (we put DD back about 10 times one night! And it took a good month to break her of the habit).
Do you think I should wait until the weekend to start? Because ds is in school.... I just don't know and thanks!
