Hello all.
My ds is 2.5. Always slept from 7 to 7.id say it all went downhill at about 2.2 years old.
It started off with my partner being away on work and he just attached himself to me at bed time. I screwed up by staying in his room until he was asleep. And the occasional night in my bed..
Now my partner is away alot more and I'm trying to do a nice wind down. The routine is there dinner bath and story time.
All I every hear is say goodnight and leave but he starts a full blown tantrum.
It's at the point where he is saying he needs me there and by the time I've put him in bed amd left he is right there behind me!
I also hear everyone say. "Just calmly put him back on bed" but it's just not possible with a full blown meltdown in effect.
Am I supposed to keep putting him down wriggling and screaming because im talking 20+ times with no result?
At the time of writing this he's in my bed and I've gone to another room.
It just seems like a 2.5 Yr old is far too logically underdeveloped to understand any of this
Any ideas!
