Hi there, I was looking for some advice from someone! I'm going mad as my 3 and a half year old keeps getting out of bed once its bedtime, and periodically gets up in the night, and then will start coming into our room from 5.30, and says that she doesn't want to sleep. She won't tell me why, and generally it is attention seeking. I've tried reason, benefit of the doubt, discipline (punishment), have lost the plot and shouted at her a few times, the silent treatment of no eye contact and putting her back in bed without talking, but don't seem to be getting anywhere! Any tips anyone?
From tired mummy, who is worried about getting through to daughter.
