Son doesn't know how to fall asleep alone in his room
« on: October 08, 2015, 04:41:17 am »
Hey,
My son is 2 years old (24 months) and we still haven't thought him to fall asleep alone in his room.

He knows how to fall asleep alone but one of us has to in the room with him. This process used to take max 15 minutes, but now he talks with his teddy bear for 15 minutes, sings, laughs before he falls asleep – yesterday I was in the room with him for 45 minutes!! 
I just sit there in my chair, I don’t talk, we only have the night light on but if I try to leave he starts crying.
I have no idea how to teach him how to fall asleep alone. Please help!

Thank you!
