I’m reaching the end of my tether!
3 year old dd has rarely stayed in her own bed through the night since she moved from cot bed to her big girl bed.
Typical night involves her going to bed about 8pm and the a mid night “I need a pee” wake up call followed by either a request for me to come into her bed and snuggle or for her to come into our bed or tears because she can’t find her teddy or demands for a drink. Then 6am rolls in and she’s up demanding breakfast.
How do we tackle this? We tried reward charts for toilet training but she wasn’t interested- If there isn’t immediate gratification she isn’t interested.
Or do we just tough it out for a few weeks and deal with the tears and tantrums until she realises she won’t get what she wants anymore?
