My 2 year old daughter refuses to go to bed at night it is a constant battle for me. I think I have tried just about everything and nothing works I have tried promising special toys, rubbing her back, sitting in there but not talking to her so that she knows she is not alone. I just don't know what to do this has been a battle with her since birth. My youngest son who is 14 months gets put in his crib and he goes to bed but not her she screams bloody murder. HELP I need some advise.

 

 

 

My son is two and when he goes to bed I put the same music on everynight, and sometimes he gets to bring juice to bed with him.  when he was younger I would give him warmed up milk to help make him tired.  I dont know if you have tried any of these but it helps my son.  If he does continue to fuss and scream then i leave him in his room to cry for 15 min and if he doesnt fall asleep then I go in and lay next to him until he does, but he is now getting to the point were he tells me when he wants to go to bed.  I hope this helps and good luck!
