I've been having that problem. Full out bribery has worked with the 5 and 4 yr old (quite simply "You stay in your bed all night and you get sweets on Friday".) Now trying this with 2 year old. Wish me luck! by bad_housewife

Definitely time for a reward chart. First night in own bed get a small reward, then something for 3 nights and something bigger for a whole week. After a spell of this with my 3yo (who does not do reward charts) I ended up doing a quick return to bed for him, after 2 nights he gave up and stayed in bed. But you mustn't give in especially when hubbie is away and a cuddle might be nice. That was my downfall!!! by soosy

It's a difficult one. I like the reward approach, unless this creates another issue which is wanting a reward for staying in bed every night. Whatever you try, the main thing is, as Soosy says - don't give up, even if they are crying and crying and crying. by guy1067

The most important thing to do is to make sure you are consistent with your child, if you decide to go with something you need to stick with it for at least a week to avoid your child becoming confused. You need to try finding out why they are coming in? just because they can?? then you need to be firm and keep taking her back until she gets bored and just stays in bed. You need to make your bedroom/bed seem really boring so she has no need to come in. by TheNurseryNurse

sim needs help with my daughter often wakes up several times a night asking for water, is there any solution to help her sleep through the night?

You have my sympathies. If you find out please let me know too. We do put a beaker full of water, with a lid, next to the bed so my son can get his own water in the night. When he shouts for it, I just go in and tell him where it is. I think he know realises he has to find it himself. by soosy

will try telling her to get the water first rather than giving it to her straightaway, hopefully bit by bit she'll start helping herself without calling for help by sim

Do you have a night light? My eldest stopped calling out at night when we left a small plug in night light on so in the hall outside his room so he could see where his water, comforter etc was but it didn't keep him awake. Helps him with finding the toilet in the night too. by soosy

she has a small light yes though maybe we could leave the hall light on so she has a bit more light, thanks by sim

We too normally leave the hall light on. by stuartwitts

If it's any consolation, my 5 yo now sleeps very well (although now I've put that in writing he will be awake tonight)! by soosy
