I can't seem to get my 3 1/2 year old son to sleep in his bed. He always ends up in his sisters room or on the floor by my bed with his blanket and pillow. It was easier when he was in a crib. Now he can just roam around. I am not sure what will make him want to sleep in his own bed. I appreciate any and all advice!!
I gave my daughter rewards for being in bed. After i laid her down, i would go in after 2 minutes, go say good night again, hugs, love you, etc, then 3 minutes later (not exactly but you get my drift), then keep postponing, before you know it she was asleep. she got used to it. Now i go in every 10 minutes. OR use stickers for rewards, etc.
If he is refusing to fall asleep when ou put him in his own bed try staying with him until he falls asleep. Read him a story, lay with him, sit in a chair, anything that works for him to fall asleep. This is common when you transition from a crib to a bed. They realize that they have this sudden freedom that they did not before. He needs to know that he has to stay in his own bed. If this is accuring in the middle of the night the best thing to do is to just put him back in his own bed. Likely he will just fall right back asleep. It is just that he is waking up in the middle of the night and not feeling secure in his 'new' bed and looking for that added security. This will pass once he gets used to the bed. Taking him out of his crib is a normal stage but he has been used to the security that his crib provided him.

I also have a 3 1/2 year old. He slept with us until he stopped BF, which was just past 3. (He started daycare/preschool which helped to wean him.) He now mostly sleeps with his brothers, on the bottom of the bunkbed. It took a little while to change his old habit of sleeping with us. So, reading to him, talking about how he was getting so big, bought new sheets (picked his fav character) and always making it a positive experience helped ease the transition. When he fell asleep in our bed, we carried him to his. After a couple of weeks of this, he grew used to waking up in that bed. If he feels more secure sleeping near his sister, is there space in her room for a toddler bed at least? Give that a try. Good luck!

Hi, M.!
Try to put his bed in his sister room. And you can put a night light near his bed.

Maybe your son is sleep walking and is not aware during the night so he just ends up anywhere. My mother-in-law told me that my fiance used to do that when he was younger. Ask your son if he remembers wandering around in the middle of the night.
