[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 524901, member: 14356"] Marguerite has some great advice for a bedtime routine. Another thing I thought of was the 'Supernanny' method. I can remember her doing this with kids and it can be a battle for the first few nights but it seemed to work for her.... 1) Do the bedtime routine and tuck the child into bed. 2) When the child gets up the first time - say "It's time for bed. Goodnight." Put the child back into bed. 3) Sit outside the bedroom door or just inside the door if necessary and every time the child gets up/comes out of the room after that you pick them up, put them back to bed - but she had the parents stay silent. (The child has already been told it's bedtime) 4) Continue putting the child back to bed silently until they finally give up. I saw some parents do this for hours the first night and they were absolutely exhausted - but, the child went to bed and after a couple of nights - no more problems. The key is not to give in. Another thing, like MWM said, it definitely would help if you could give more information on your child and his circumstances and/or diagnosis. Best wishes! [/QUOTE]
