Transitioning 2 Yr Old from Crib to Bed

I have the same problem with my 2 1/2 year old daughter durring nap times. She trashes her room before she finally goes to sleep. I haven't solved this myself because my son (10 mo) is rarely sleeping when it's time to put is sister down and DH is at work. But if I could I would do what I did the first time she slept in the toddler bed at night, using the Supernanny's "Stay in Bed Technique".

Best wishes.

Just put her in bed in the same time every day,without music and without light.im doing the same with mu 20 mos old daughter plus she does have a littel friend(brown dog) she adore it and she's not going to bed without that,so u do the same give her litel soft toy so she can hug and sleep with :)
good luck :)

leave her in the crib till she is 3-why rush it?

Hi there! you know, i just went through this with my daughter she was a little over 26 months old. We (very bravely) did it over christmas. She was also an excellent sleeper.. until we got the toddler bed. It took us a week (maybe a little more) of STRICT bed times. And i mean strict. Put her to bed at her normal hour, then if she gets up once, put her back in, if she gets up twice, scorn her and put her back. If my daughter got up a third time, she got her tush spanked and back in bed. yes, it was VERY tough, but you know, it only took a week to get her to cut it out. and now, she goes to bed all on her own. It's great! lots of luck. remember, consistency is the key.

I always read stories to my son, and I will talk about quite time, no talking. I will lay down with him until he falls asleep, then I leave the room. I haven't found any other solution yet. let me know if you have additional ideals.

thanks
