let her cry and throw a fit a little. early though, like at 8pm before your parents go to bed. She will get used to you not being there every minute and things will start getting better. sounds harsh but it works</description>

If it&#039;s important to you that she sleep in her own bed (and, if you don&#039;t care &amp; she doesn&#039;t care, then there&#039;s no problem with her sharing, either), but, if you do want her on her own, then you need to teach her how to do it, just like you&#039;d teach her how to do anything else in her life. 

As with any lesson, it&#039;s best to first help her understand how this will benefit her, or how it&#039;s polite/safe to do it the way that you would like it done.  Then, with your parental knowledge of how she learns best, and letting her be involved in coming up with the plan, work with her to reach the goal of sleeping on her own all night.  

Does she need a nightlight?  A story?  A ritual?  A bedtime snack?  An earlier bedtime?  A later one?  Exercise before bed?  A bath before bed?  A special blanket, pillow, sweater that belongs to you?  How about something that belongs to daddy?  

Talk to her, involve her in the solution &amp; help her to learn.</description>

If she is young enough to not go to school yet, do this any day, if she goes to school every day, do this when she will not have school the next day:

It will take some testing, but try in the beginning three hours before bed. So if her bedtime is at, say... eight, then do it at five. Give her a few drinks of something caffeinated and wait until she gets tired. She will come off the caffeine and be really tired, and then you can take her to her bed and lay with her until she falls asleep, but make sure you&#039;re on the outside edge of the bed so you can easily get off without too much ruckus. She still possibly may wake up in the middle of the night, go ahead and take her back to her bed and say you will lay with her and then wait until she falls asleep again and go back to your bed, but it is possible the caffeine may knock her out.

-If three hours doesn&#039;t cut it-

If she gets tired earlier than bedtime, plan to give her the drink in just enough time for her to go to bed. So, lets say if you give her the drink at five and shes tired by seven, go ahead and let her sleep, but tomorrow, give her the drink at 6 instead of five.

If she isn&#039;t tired by bedtime, let her stay up until she is, and time it according to what time she got tired

if you don&#039;t want to do that, you may just have to deal with it until shes old enoug hto sleep by herself</description>

If she screams at all hours of the night, it&#039;ll only be for a couple of nights. Put her back in her bed, and start her there, too. I&#039;d recommend starting on a Friday night. That way everyone can sleep in.</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt;Leonel&lt;/a&gt;


Has this always happened? How old is she? If your showing any signs of being hurt or worried, shes probably picking up on them and shes scared. Have you tried sleeping in her bed with her for a night or two? That might help I had to do that with my youngest daughter. Dont let her eat before bed, that can make them wake up. Just give it some time and I&#039;m sure it will pass.</description>
