MY 4yr old hasn't been going to bed when I tell her to. She usually goes to bed when shes told but recently she wont listen. I read her stories and tuck her in etc but now shes been getting out of bed and asking for snacks and drinks and I tell her "NO" time to go to bed. Then she begs to come sleep in my bed...and the last like 3nights she's been in my bed and its a twin not much room for both of us.
What Im asking is does anyone have any ideas on how to get her to stay in her bed at night without a problem?!
Just keep putting her back to bed every time she gets up, or it'll become harder and harder to break the habit :/
Consider a bed tent or a new pillow, maybe let her pick out a night light if she doesn't already have one.
Good luck!
I had that issue with my daughter and I sometimes still do. What helps me is just telling her that big girls sleep in their own room and just leaving it as that. My daughter would cry herself asleep but eventually got the drift that she has to sleep in her own room
I would spank her after the second warning.

Why on earth would you hit a todler for this? Goodness do you bully all of your children?

how is that bullying? If my child gets out of bed and ask for a snack and I say NO go to bed and I keep putting her back in her bed and she doesn't stay or listens. That enough warnings and I will spank her. I don't care how you see that or your opinion on it either. Parents parent differently. I don't agree with how you talk down to your child like she is stupid but I didnt comment because that works for you and your family.
