Separation Anxiety In Toddlers Bedtime
separation anxiety at bedtime?
is it possible for my son to have this now , he will be two in February. up until thanksgiving weekend we had no problem until we went to grandmas overnight where she still has him sleep in a crib and we were downstairs, where he couldn’t get to us because he does not climb out of the crib.
at home he use to sleep in a toddler bed and come into are room in the morning to tell us he was up. now he wont sleep there he has to sleep with us, last night i tried to have him sleep in his toddler bed and i stayed with him until he fell asleep which i have not had to do since 10 months but as soon as i left the room he woke up screaming.
are we doomed to him sleeping between the both of us or what can i do to help him fall asleep in his own bed and stay there.
i would not stay with him untill he falls asleep u r giving him alot of un needed attetion when he should be sleeping. i would him in bed explain to him that it is time to sleep. if he crys let him for about 10-15 mintues and go check on him. let him know u still r around and that he needs to go to sleep. if he leaves the room pick him up and put him back into bed with out talking to him or giving him eye contact. this is so he understands he will not be rewarded for doing what he is not suppose to do. keep checking on him untill he falls alseep. i seen this done on suprer nanny and it works really well i have also tried it with my son who is now 4.
