For anyone who is sruggling with night visits or early mornings, I've just been through a full year of broken nights and early mornings with my 2 - 3 year old. We tried absolutely everything: bribery, threats, taking toys away, sticker charts, the lot. None of it worked for more than a night or two at a time. I really feel like we've sorted it finally and I got the solution from a book I bought written by a sleep clinic. 1. Gro Sleep Clock - This clock was a revelation! It works better than the traditional 'bunny' clock because it doesn't pop up loudly (and wake the child up) at the allocated time. Instead its plugged in and the picture turns from a star to a sun in the morning. The stars count down to morning so the child can tell how close they are to morning. Its worked brilliantly with my daughter. 2. Sleep fairy - Keep a bag by the parents' bed and tell the child that the sleep fairy will leave her a little gift if she stays in her room quietly until the 'sun comes up' on the clock. This can be phased out once the child gets the hang of staying in her room all night. 3. When things go wrong - The only thing that has worked for us to deal with our daughter when she's come into our room in the night is the Supernanny style 'putting them back' approach. No talking, no engaging in any debate, no exceptions - even if its only five minutes before they are allowed to come into the room. I had to put my daughter back many many times the last time it happened with her throwing an epic tantrum, I didn't back down, I didn't respond to her, and eventually she gave up, since then she has never (touch wood) tried it again. Hope this helps anyone who is struggling with this coz it has been bliss having full nights' sleeps again after a year of broken nights. Best of luck.
