Wont go to bed
« on: May 11, 2006, 10:43:23 am »
My DS is 2 and a half.  For about the last 2 months now he just will not stay in his bed.  We rent a house in Auckland and the living areas are upstairs and the bedrooms are all downstairs.  His bedtime is 8pm.  After putting him to bed he just wanders straight back upstairs again.  He is doing this for over 2 hours every night.  First time I pick him up and say Bedtime Darling and put him back in his bed.... second time I just say Bedtime and try again..... every time after that I just say nothing and keep putting him back into his bed...... really I feel like screaming at him but I dont. Its driving us nuts.  He looks really tired but he just fights it as he wants to be upstairs with us.  What else can we do to get him to stay in his bedroom and go to sleep??  He was textbook baby and textbook/spirited toddler.... he is a lovely lad in most other ways and a joy to be around.
