[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 334191, member: 8226"] People have such strong opinions about the notion of "the family bed." I, personally, have no problem with it and am convinced that almost every child will migrate to his/her own bed at an "acceptable" point. A couple things I have done with success, though, after I was getting some indications that she was "ready," (and I did it with both girls), was letting her pick out sheets she particularly liked, maybe choose some special, new things for the room to make it a place she felt ownership of, etc. What about a special "theme" for wall decorations, etc.? I didn't do this one, but what about some special reward immediately in the morning for having stayed in bed all night? Even something that would be "taboo" under most circumstances? A couple Hershey's kisses or a small handful of M & M's shouldn't totally destroy appetite for breakfast. [/QUOTE]
