How to get the kids to stay in bed!
04.11.2012 - 11:30 pm

Try the privacy pop. It’s on privacy pop dot com. You can put it on the bed, and they feel like they have their own space. When they are acting out, they can go there for quiet time. Hope this helps! At nap time, you can zip it up so it’s dark and feels like night time. I’ve found this helpful.

I have four children and the oldest was the toughest to deal with. I used this technique and it worked. I tread to her and got her to bed then I would tell her that I had to use the restroom but promised to be back in 5 minutes. I always came back in exactly 5 mins. This builds trust. Slowly I would extend that to 10 mins and finally 15, usually she would fall asleep by then. The most important thing is that they know you are still THERE for them so always coming back and checking in on them is vital. Hope this helps. And remember THIS TOO SHALL PASS.
