Just put her straight back to bed with as little fuss as possible. This can be completely exhausting for the parent, but the child learns that she won't be able to stay up for an extra few minutes. Don't even tell her off as that is giving it attention.

A set bedtime routine (bath, bedtime lotion, book, bed) and not running in my DD's room when she fusses in the middle of the night. If she fusses for more than 2 minutes or sounds truly in distress, I will check on her.

Strawni I commented on September 10, 2010 - give them proper time so that they can sleep...

LynDClutter commented on September 10, 2010 - She can't wake us up or leave her room until the clock turns 6 or later. Of course, if she is sick or scared, she can come anytime.

Install a motorized monster-under-the-bed that will grab their ankles every time they try and step down onto the floor.

Have a basic routine but have up to a half hour of give in either direction. Getting them into bed when they are tired enough but not too tired Recognizing when to get bedtime rolling is an art form that takes time to master.

Have a set bedtime routine, 10 minutes of child-chosen wind-down time (books, coloring, etc.) right before tuck-in, get all needs (potty, water, etc) taken care of in advance, and as little interaction as possible when they try to get out of bed. :)

Have a devotional on what is good bedtime behavior; Role play bad and good example of response to being asked to go to bed. Reverse roles, let them act the parent and you the kids, display the behaviors. Have rewards for the good behavior.

Talk about their day before bed and help them sleep through the night by ensuring they’re comfortable– offer a nightlight, blanket or disposable underwear if they wet the bed. Always be consistent and calm. -Dawn Meehan, GoodNites NiteLite Panel

After bath/story/teeth/potty/prayers, I close the bedroom door. If they open it, my twin girls can't play outside the next day. Open it again, they can't watch anything on tv. It took one day of living with the consequences to squelch their desire to roam

Put them down when they are actually tired, as opposed to rigid bedtime. Depending on activities during the day, nap times or skipped naps, kids get tired at different times (just like adults). Kids wake if they kick off their covers on cool nights.

No high-energy activities before bed-time, just enough filled tummies, bed-time routine, clean and fresh nappies (if still needed), gentle tuck-in, night-light, enough air circulation, and good-night!

For my 6 and 7 year old, I have them lay in bed at least 30 minutes before I want them in bed with three books and a head flashlight. My son reads until he gets sleepy and falls asleep on his own. Make sure they pee before going to bed too.
