when did you put your children in there own room

My kids have slept in their own rooms since the day they were born. Their room was right across from mine and I'd leave both my and their bedroom door open at night. I don't believe in sharing a room with a child it build unhealthy bounderies. As far as baby monitors go, I just listened and payed attention to their sounds when they slept. I'd get up every few hours and check on them.

Oh, the same problem I'm meeting now. My little daughter is nearly two-year old as well, but I think maybe I will let her stay with us for a little bit longer time because I still worry about if I leave her alone in her room that will get her in trouble. The main problem is she will feel not safe and be afraid of something during the night. Maybe when she is around 3 year and feel more confident with others I will leave her alone in her room.

My youngest is five and most nights still sleeps with me. She was a premmie and I still worry about her breathing, even though she seems very helthy. My older boys 15, 13 and 9 have their own rooms. But some nights the teens are talking in one room and I find them the next morning asleep in the same room! Here in Japan kids sleep with their parents sometimes until high school. Many times this has to do with small apartments and houses which don't give you room for each child. I would try your son in his own room. Make it seem like an adventure for him. Have some kind of night time ritual, bath, brush teeth, story, song and a nice long cuddle (good for moms too!), then into bed. Check on him a few times, also don't make it seem like a punishment, this is a great step, talk it up a lot!! good luck with whatever you do. My oldest son never slept through the night until he was about six years old, he just never needed that much sleep! Now at 15 I can't get him up in the mornings!!!

The best baby monitor I have had is myself! I can hear my babies crying when I need to, I tell myself before I go to sleep that I must keep an ear open for the children and I wake up easily like they are my little alarm clocks! My first was in his own room from 18 months - before that I only had a one bedroom unit so I had no choice but to have him in with me. I put him into his own room when we moved and because he used to scream alot - sounds terribly mean but I needed to be able to seperate him from me because he was a very clingy child - he still needs a lot of cuddles and kisses and I am afraid didn't sleep through the night until he was 3.5years old - but he was an exceptionally challenging one! My second child slept in our bed until she was 6 months and then had a bed beside ours, 11 months later when the next baby came we put her on the other side of our room and had the new baby in bed, she coped with this really well, she slept through the night from 4 months though. My third baby slept in our bed for the next 4 months and then we put her into her own cot. She is not a great sleeper and still to this day - she is 2.5 now, I still get up to her in the night, usually I just have to go and pat her and tell her its sleeping time and walk out again, she seems to be having night-terrors. My youngest slept in bed with us for a week before we realised that this little one did not like to be cuddled to sleep but liked her space instead! So we had her in a sling-type cot that used to bounce her around when she moved, she slept through from 1 week old! I actually had to wake her a few times to make sure she was feeding often enough and she was hydrated! At six months she went into a cot in our room and she is still sleeping there at 14months! I think we may have spoiled her just a little - shh don't tell the others! I have been meaning to move her into the girls room but I don't want to upset the apple cart! I think the two younger ones will wake eachother up all through the night for at least 2-3 weeks until they can get used to eachothers company. Not looking forward to that non-sleeping period! Good luck with the sleeping through and when you are up with your boy think of me and my kids 9, 3, 2 and 1.... I most probably will be up at the same time as you!

if you do put him in a new room make sure its comfy and that the child can entertain themselfs in there toys,animals,lights etc.

my sister didnt sleep in here own room till the end of kindergarden but its diff for every child. if you do make a new room make sure its comfy and that the child can entertain themselfs in the room

I have 4 kids ages 9,7,5,2 and they have there own rooms. Now do they all sleep in there rooms?! NO! they don't my 5 year old sleeps in my room and my 2 year old will only sleep with his daddy. So yeah they all have there own rooms but that don't mean they all sleep in them.

I don't know what to say. An Indian mother will not even think of putting her 2 year old son or daughter in a separate room.
