Jameni saidia hapa!

My 2 and a half year old rahalet won't sleep in her own bedroom. She insists on sharing our bed. Tried all tricks over the last 1 year to get her to accept to sleep in her own bed and bedroom lakini wapi. We've tried to make her share her brother's (10 yrs old) bedroom but own bed without success.
Made her a fancy bed still no luck.

Advise on what tricks, means, whatever that we may not be doing right in this endeavor.

Relocate to her bedroom and leave for her yours.

For the very first week that a child is born ensure he/she sleeps with the maid so that he/she will grow up knowing where to sleep!

Its too l ate now to change the kid, the only option left is to let the kid grow to the age he/she will know how to separate good from bad...age of 10!...no landing in that bedroom in the foreseeable future!

There is no solution but the hard one...let her cry for 2 to 3 days and she will adjust. I had to do it to my older one, broke my heart, but he managed.

I think gradually, when she sleeps..take her to her bed.she will wake up at somepoint and cry..pick her up, she sleepsagain and you move her again...eventually she will get used to...

or Like @KRaha said..let her break your heart with tears for several days.

Simple solution: Show her where her bed is and then proceed to your bedroom and lock the door and sleep. She will cry and after sometime she will go to her bedroom and sleep.

There was an article about this in the DN recently...

Kaa ngumu!

We tried this with one of our adamant daughter and the method failed. She cried and cried at the door until she vomitted all what she had eaten for dinner (through lot of struggling), chocking herself in it.

We tried pinching her for bad behaviour but this made her even more...

Eventually, we used method in post #5 and it worked.

Phew!!!!
