How can I get my 4 yr old to sleep in her bed?


My daughter will go to bed at 9 or 10 pm and she will sleep until about 1 or 2 am and wake up and come get in my bed, she does this every night. Any suggestions would be helpful.

My 4 year old has the same problem. We do a "monster " hunt before we go to bed . we go in the closet and sprinkle it with glitter"fairy dust" to keep the monsters away. We do the same thing under the bed. And she has 4 plugs in her room that are all filled with nite lights. she has to have a certain blankey ,pillow and a cup of water. When shes all tucked in we read a story say our prayers and she goes to sleep. 3 am here she comes blanky over the shoulder and thumb in mouth. Crawls up right in the middle of the bed and snuggles against mommy. LOL never fails. Im clueless as well.
Ask her why she leaves her own bed. If it is because she is afraid of something, get a clean spray bottle and tell her that you are filling it up with (whatever she is afraid of) Spray. Then before she falls asleep, spray the room with it. She should sleep throught the night.
