They have 15 minutes to read, (or I read to them), talk, whatever. After 15 mins, hugs and kisses, lights off, goodnight! I don't look in on them; they cannot get up unless it is an emergency. (Our emergencies are: Fire, flood, blood! Ha.) If they cannot go to sleep they can do whatever with the lights off and still in their rooms. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes we still have issues, but it works most of the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985649127103623896.post-91649712199781204762009-02-10T18:11:00.000-06:002009-02-10T18:11:00.000-06:00My kids fall asleep within 5 minutes of putting th...My kids fall asleep within 5 minutes of putting them to bed....except for the weekend....they can stay up later than me....haha!!!!!<BR/>Good luck!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985649127103623896.post-75058204698310939312009-02-10T10:51:00.001-06:002009-02-10T10:51:00.001-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12736163112874118285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985649127103623896.post-67311253788149122032009-02-10T10:51:00.000-06:002009-02-10T10:51:00.000-06:00I know my situation is totally different from your...I know my situation is totally different from yours sis but the only thing we found to work for seth is medication. His brain never shuts off and it goes so darn fast from one thing to another that he would go for days without sleeping and never be tired, he would be grumpy and have terrible acting out but not tired. You should talk to your pediatrician or find a book with suggestions to try, and keep trying to get out of Emma what the trouble is and what it is she is thinking about maybe it is something that with a little reassurance can help calm her little brain. Good luck Love ya JJJarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12736163112874118285noreply@blogger.com
