How to stop co-sleeping w/my 4yr mature w/out the tolerate her cry it out method?
It seems to be the best method, because at this age, it's not roughly self -soothing, it's about manipulation. I have a 4 year old son and can speak about you that if we had the same scenario, he would fight tooth and pin, just for th sake of fighting. They want to exert some kind of control...so you requirement to step up and take control. Start with a nice bedtime routine, bath, jammies, story time (in her own bed) and afterwards follow with something like nightime prayers or a song. Then tell her fitting night. walk out of the room and stand right next ot her door (where she can't see you) and the instant she walk out the door, point right back in the bed and tell her goodnight. repeat. it's going to help yourself to some time because of her age, but you have to be persistant and consistent. Good luck.
thats the process my 2yr old is i usually put her to sleep in my bed then when she is out i move her to her bed. Then surrounded by the middle of the night she wakes up crying then comes bk to my bed, I dont know what to do but ive be like laying her in bed and unfolding her to go to sleep. then walking out the door. it barley works,
beat her until black and blue. it's accurate for them
Well, no one LIKES to let their child cry, but it is called for sometimes. She is 4 years old. She is too immature to make her own decision yet. You need to do that for her, and yes, not getting her own way will trademark her cry. Tell her to deal with it, and if she doesn't,discipline her. She is looking to you for guidance and with discipline comes shelter. You tell her what you expect of her ( EX: go to your bed and go to sleep) and if she go in your room, then you need to discipline her. Keep man consistent on this, and she will do as you say, and respect your authority. It is perfectly fine for her to get adjectives her cuddles during the day...that is important, but you are right, she wants to learn to sleep in her own bed and in her own room. And in need the aid of a television. TV will not be an answer in this situation, only a crutch that again you'll own to break her of. I would not even start that. So I hope that helps, and remember it takes time and lots of consistency. Remember, you're the parent, not her.
My question is why'd you start...
My answer is COLD TURKEY just like stopping using a pacifier.. it may be rugged for a month or so but you have to be hard and strict. Sounds horrible, but things become permanent after children are age 18 months and it will be VERY difficult to stop any of that. It is NOT apt for your kid either to need to sleep with or or your MARRIAGE.
