2 year old refuses to get into bed

Help please!! My 2 year old was a really good girl going to bed until recently. She now says 'Megan do it' and stands by the bed, but will not get in.

If I say to her "do you want mummy to put you to bed" she says Megan will do it, but then she doesn't. Then if I do put her in she just screams and gets back out again.

I've been just leaving her in the room and going away but I don't want bedtime to become a battleground and every night end like this.....

I'm sure she knows what I'm saying as she just stands there and looks defiant. I've tried counting to 10 to see if she would do it but she's just too stubborn.

Any ideas please?? Thanks for reading x

Your post has made me smile because Megan sounds like my very own stubborn 2 year old! She is still in a cot which solves any bedtime arguments. Could you put a stairgate on her door and just leave her to it? She'll hopefully work out that her bed is comfier than the floor...

You have my sympathies. What defiant little people!
