Please help me out here ...trying to make a point to my 10 yr old DD (about sleeping )

Do your children over the age of 9 ..get you to sit beside them every night in order for them to fall asleep ? Or do they just go to bed at bedtime and go to sleep on their own ?

Do they wake up every night through out the night just to wake you up to come and sit with them so they can fall back to sleep? 

Do they have to find you every ten minutes ...

Do they expect you to spend EVERY waking moment with them ?? Or do they go off and do their own things a good deal of the time ?

that plan is in the works...but she has to wait a couple of years lol

Quoting christina0607:

Sounds like your daughter needs a sibling.

 my 5 yo old and almost 3 yr old put themselves to bed. They only time they are clingy are when they are sick. That is when I will sit with them or hold them while they sleep.
