We co-slept with my son as well, and then had to stay at my fiance's sister's house where we were all in the same room, so I still have to sit in my son's room while he falls asleep or he'll just get out of bed again and again. We're working on slowly moving out of the room. I don't necessarily agree with the tv in the room, but hey, if it works, it works! :P

Hey Brenn,  I know that getting a tv is a bad idea.....kids need at least 1/2 hour of quiet time. A tv will just keep your child's brain stimulated. I made that mistake with my first child.  My son is 22 months old and goes to sleep great.  I used to rub his back until he fell asleep for about a week, then I would just stand next to him and sing a lulluby for a week.  Then I would stand at the doorway for a week. Now he goes to bed by himself.  Hope this is helpful.

@Nicole thx that does sound like a good idea. Guess I will be buying her a tv for her room lol. TG tax season is here lol.

I can help with the bed transition... We co-slept with mine until about a month ago.  We started out laying in her bed with her until she fell asleep, then moved to we sat on the floor with her and stayed till she was asleep.  Now we have a tv in her room and we put a movie on for her and walk out. She stays there all night, puts her self to sleep and we dont have to be in there "babying" her.

Hope this helps.

Hello Group,  my only daughter was born on the 25th. Any birthday "twins" lol. Anyhow we are 1st timers and have never potty trained or paci broke, or successful gotten her to sleep in her own bed again, dunno why either. For some reason she stopped sleeping there and now we are trying to get her to stay in her own bed again. Anyhow I am looking for some tips, so hook a B*Word up and share the goods. Thx in advance for sharing.

LOL, I agree with Courtney. They're just testing limits. It's obviously a phase most every kid will go through (Ash is doing the same things!!). I think the biggest thing to remember in this stage is that praise is just as important as discipline. I think I was forgetting that for a while and I felt like all I ever did was tell Ash "no, no!!". Now I make sure to make a big deal about it when he does something right. His attitude has changed a lot (though we still have tantrums...) and I feel better, too!

Crystal- They are at an age will they begin to test the limits with EVERYTHING!
From my experience, the earlier you lay down the law and teach them that kind of behavior is NOT acceptable the smoother the ride. My daughter Chloe is also 19 months and it usually just takes a few times of learning a behavior is NOT ok before she stops doing it. The most important thing is to be consistent. They're at an age where they're too smart for their britches :)

My son is going to be 19 months next week and we are experiencing the same thing. He has been such a happy easy going biy up until now. I am hoping that it is a phase and that it will be over quickly
