What is the easiest way to transition your two year back to her own room with her making a big stink about.

Well, my daughter is 4 years old and she always climbs in my bed sometime in the middle of the night. It seems to be a regular thing for her to do. I ask her why she does this and she just tells me that she is scared. I'm sure when she gets older it will stop. For now, I guess we have to lose some sleep.

Yes, it does. Sometimes I don't even realize my daughter climbs in my bed at night until I wake up in the morning and see her laying next to me. lol. Thats how tired I am sometimes.

Let me know too! I also have a 3 year old who has no plans of moving to his own bed. He eventually would be sharing a room with his big brother, but for now he can't seem to go to sleep without mum or dad by his side. Speaking of his big brother, he too likes to run to our room in the middle of the night. Thankfully, it does not happen too often.
