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.

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!

She will cry and after sometime she will go to her bedroom and sleep. "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

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!!!!
