I would like some help in getting my 6 year old to sleep through the night, He will wake up anywhere from 1 to 5 times a night and come into mine and my husbands room. He'll wake me up I'll tuck him back in and go back to bed and it will take up to an hour to get him back to sleep some nights, we have even gone to putting him in a different room from his brother and at that time he'll just scream and cry. I am at my wits end. My 3 yr old sleeps all night without problems haw can I solve this night time waking of my 6 year old. any suggestions would be greatful.
Hello, I know exactly what you mean love. My children are 4 and 3. My Daughter now still wakes up in the night. Someone suggested to me to change the bedroom around. I tried that and it seemed to work. Has your son got things on his mind (school maybe). You are doing the right thing in taking him back to his bed. The key is to whisper or say nothing and just tuck back in. Less attention the better. I have also said if you go to sleep now you can have a treat tomorrow or if you don't go to sleep i will shut the door. Try a reward chart too!!
Use any technique you can. Try not to make it a big issue. I know it is hard as i love my sleep and it kills me sometimes.
Be strong and talk to him. Also, make sure your bedtime routine is the same...read a story and all that!!
