Toddler Sleep Battles


So our soon to be 3 year old has been bad about sleep lately. We have a good bedtime routine of pajamas, potty, teeth brushing, books, and a back rub. Lately she keeps getting out of bed and crying for us to come lay with her.She has done this before and usually I will go a few rounds with putting her back in bed, telling her it’s ok, and leaving. She cries but eventually just goes to sleep.Unfortunately, the 1 year old is a much lighter sleeper than he used to be and his bedroom is across the hallway. When she cries and carries on it wakes him up. This has led to us having to tell her to stop crying and go to bed in our best serious voices. Sometimes we have to threaten to close the door to her room which she hates (though it’s not clear to me why).I feel bad threatening her and telling her to be quiet when she is upset as I feel she has a right to have those feelings but I can’t very well spend 2 hours on bedtime. Any suggestions? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3gs5HVy
