[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 62135, member: 3647"] In the meantime, as far as her going to bed, I would adapt the "pick your battles" approach. In other words, is your child sleeping in her own bed worth the meltdown that ensues while trying to enforce it (especially when she usually ends up somewhere else anyways?) I say, let her pick where she sleeps. It is much more important THAT she sleeps than WHERE she sleeps. I'm not saying roll out the red carpet and she can do whatever she wants. I mean, if she needs to sleep with you, allow that. If she is more comfortable on the floor, let it happen. If she crashes on the couch, leave her there. In the grand scheme of things, this is not so bad. We have a book that we recommend around here called "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It covers the "picking your battles" concept. Get your hands on that book, and follow up on the evaluations. Welcome to the board. [/QUOTE]
