My 3 year old has had a good bedtime routine since she was a tiny baby. I read her story books and sing her lullabies, switch off the light then leave!! She is now in her toddler bed and has been pretty good about falling asleep by herself. She is not afraid of the dark and does not have night terrors. Lately (and I know this is normal) she hops out of bed, wants a drink of water, wants to go to the toilet, wants another cuddle, wants to sleep in my bed, wants more stories, looks for this toy or that, etc etc. The to-ing and fro-ing can drag on for another hour or two. I have tried being patient and also tried being very firm. The last thing I want is a screaming tantrum or power struggle at bedtime. Anyone have any tips on getting a pre-schooler to go to bed and STAY in bed?
