Where Should Your Child Sleep?

Quote From: helpamomout

MY 5YR/O DAUGHTER HAS SLEPT WITH HER DAD SINCE DAY ONE!!! WE KNOW IT IS WORNG..BUT HE IS A SOFTY AND SHE JUST GOT USED TO DAD GIVING IN,NOW WE ARE HAVING A VERY TOUGH TIME GETTING HER TO BED,SHE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET HIM TO GO TO BED WITH HER EVERY NIGHT NOW,WE TRY SO HARD TO STOP THIS BUT SHE WILLL BE UP ALL NIGHT,I (MOM) TRY TO SLEEP WITH HER BUT SHE WILL WAKE UP GO RIGHT TO DAD...PLEASE HELP...THANK YOU LAURA 

Rewarding children for good behaviour often works, but make sure the reward is something good for them not junk food and such. Tell your child if she can sleep in her own bed then daddy will make a special time where she can do whatever she wants with daddy. Maybe giving her something to work towards will break the habit. Good luck.

It will be hard and take a couple weeks to break her of the habit.  I agree with the last post though and you can always start with letting her sleep with daddy on weekends.
