well that says it already basically! after we've gone through with our bed-time routine like trying to wind her down, brushing teeth and sing her good-night songs in bed she starts to cry and scream as soon as she realises I'm about to leave her room. sometimes I haven't even reached the stairs yet when I hear her climbing out of bed already. last night put her to bed for the first time at around 8, she finally fell asleep at ten to 10 after having been put to bed like 20 times, always coming downstairs packed with all the toys she takes to bed. I put her back to bed each time without much talking, tucked her in and left the room again - controlled crying, yes, I'm trying!!! when she finally fell asleep she was completely and totally exhausted. problem is she does it at night as well - last night at about 3.30 and as soon as she wakes up and realises she's alone in her room starts to scream at the top of her lungs. cc is quite difficult too because ds (7 months) is sleeping next door and I don't want him to wake up from her screaming so I go in to her almost immediately. I'm really shattered and frustrated and desperate, what am I doing wrong?
