My story about: When Your Toddler Resists Sleep
wow7777's story
March 12, 2008
When we went from crib to big boy bed, my son found out he could get around the rail and get out. We love our sleep and so we implemented what we call the "Supernanny" technique because that is where we saw it...basically you have to be prepared to spend anywhere from 15 min to 3 hours and a lot of resolve. It should only take one night but maybe two or three (including nap times). Kids learn fast if you mean business or if you will cave in and they get what they want. Basically, the technique is to put them back in the bed and say its "night night time" or whatever.. then the next time they get out, you put them back in bed and say nothing... then you continue to do this until they get the message or the fall asleep from exhaustion...if you have to, just sit on the floor of their room and do not make eye contact or say anything for any reason, just continue to put them back in bed... IT WORKS! they get the message and just stay in bed.
