wish I knew the answer -- our 4.8yo comes into our room in the middle of the night every single night, wants to get in bed with us or have one of us come sleep in her bed. drives me nuts [ Reply | More

np: we've also been there. you're totally not the only one. dd is 5 now, and went through phase last year when she did this every night. we were exhausted. sticker chart worked wonders in our case. she was super excited to get a sticker on a chart for every night she stayed in bed and/or didn't need us to sit w/ her to fall asleep. prize was a trip to the bronx zoo. the book "1-2-3 Magic" was also helpful w/ bedtime issues, i found, and for discipline stuff in general for this age. good luck! hope you get some sleep soon. : ) [ Reply | More
