I know this isn't going to be your favorite advice. But sometimes my 5 year old goes through needy phases, like around birthdays for example. I think they are growing and maturing and sometimes it's hard for them to handle everything that's new going on in their heads. So in turn all that change affects her sleep and ability to stay asleep through the night. So we, ready to take a sip of that wine.... We put her mattress on the floor of our bedroom, to help her get through her phases. It doesn't stay in our room all the time, but if she needs a few weeks, we are open to it. That way she's not climbing into our bed in the middle of the night, but she feels safe. My thoughts are with you, it's so hard! Denises last blog post..Now It's, Happy SNOWY Spring!

OMG, that damned clown from Poltergeist scared the ever-living crap out of me. When I woke up in the middle of the night, my dad just ignored me. Yay for dysfunctional families!! Joes last blog post..He Has a Future in Lawn Maintenance

We are actually going through this now with our 4 year old. She turns every light on in her room and we still sometimes find her in our bed or the living room (which really makes no sense to me because those rooms are darker). The past few nights we have set up an army of her stuffed animals to guard her room. They are positioned to watch ever corner and crevice. So far, so good. The monster spray sounds like a good idea and I may try that if our current method stops working. Dorenes last blog post..Wordless Wednesday - Take a picture of me!

I LOVE Cathy’s idea!!

We play the 24-hr. classical station in both rooms and Will actually told me once that that’s the music that helps him sleep. Though Monsters Away Spray sounds like a better bet!!

Tell him, very seriously, that you got an email from the head-monster. And that the head monster has said that they will only get him if he comes out of his room before morning. They'll be waiting right outside the door for him, so he better keep his butt in his bed and just go to sleep until the monsters leave at dawn. **************Okay seriously.... Quinn went through something similiar. We hooked up a nightlight and told him that monster's were NOT ALLOWED IN OUR HOUSE. We told him that Maggie, our old dog, would NEVER allow a monster to come into our house and that seemed to work. We didn't try to convince him that monster's didn't exsist, just that they weren't allowed here in our house. Good luck! Cathys last blog post..Happy Monday!

I love the imagination of a four year old and yet I can't stand the imagination of a four year old. We went through a few months of this on each of them. Monster spray worked well. Also a night light and the closet light on. Unfortunetly, that's really all you can do....and hope it doesn't last too long. Issas last blog post..Six months

Oh this has got to be so hard. Our 3 year old had a week where she was scared to death but luckily she just mellowed out. I feel so bad for him. midwest mommys last blog post..A Serious Question
