[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 186135, member: 3444"] What does easy child 1 say about it? Does he have any idea why he's doing this? Even if he can't articulate it precisely, what he does say may give you some insight. Does he get too cold? Too hot? Need to use the toilet? Maybe it's anxiety combined with being a light sleeper -- he wakes up and then gets too scared to go back to sleep? Have you tried any incentives for him to stay in his own bed? X number of nights in his own bed all night and he gets a prize? Some parents try to adapt to the behavior and just put a small sleeping mat at the foot or side of their bed so the child can come to their room without disturbing them. We've done this with easy child/difficult child 3 because of bedwetting issues, nightmare issues, or whatever reason she just can't go back to sleep in the middle of the night. Sometimes just knowing she had that option was enough for her. What does your pediatrician say? [/QUOTE]
