My daughter is the same way at times! I know how you feel! The best thing that we found that helped us is that we would try to take her to the park, play outside, swim, or anything active and just try to ware her down. Another thing is that she love to play with every toy she has and tears up her room. So we try to get her to pick up as much of it as she can as fast as she can and make lil games out of it. Sometimes the little things make it so they get worn out! Hope this helps!

I am also having huge issues with my daughter sleeping. She just turned three. She won't go to sleep until around ten or eleven every night, even though we start putting her down at eight. Then she is normally up by seven. She refuses to take a nap during the day, and gets extremely cranky around supper. Then she gets her 'second wind' and is at it again... We have tried everything we can think of, from tea to TV to letting her cry in her room...she finds something to do, even if it's just jumping on her bed or climbing. I am at wit's end, and am not doing very well on only three or four hours sleep a night!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am about to tell her ped she needs medicated! She is out of control, and I feel it's because she is so overly tired all the time!!

try giving him a warm glass of milk before you lay him down to bed at night. it might work. i used to do that with my nephew when he wouldn't sleep. he would sleep through the night.

I am a woman desperate for answers. I have a wonderful 22 month old son. He has only slept through the night 7 times in his life. The longer this goes on the more concerned I become. Let me give some background. He slept in a bassinet in our room until he was 4 months old, when he refused to sleep in it anymore. So at 4 months we moved him into his crib in his own room down the hall. After some adjustment he would go to sleep easily but never all the way through the night. At 16 months old he decided the crib was no longer for him and he wouldn't sleep in it. We fought for days and even had a 4 hour battle in the middle of one night that left me exhausted and him triumphant in he got to go to a toddler bed. He started falling asleep better but still not sleeping through the night! He wakes at least once, most of the time several times through out the night. Then my husband went on a business trip and was gone for two nights. Now getting him to lay down and go to sleep is a nightmare. This trip was TWO MONTHS ago! He has always had anxieties. If he gets up and can't find us immediately he cries and becomes hysterical. He has had three night terrors, the first one when he was 9 months old. I was almost hysterical with that one, he was crying and screaming and I couldn't get him awake. He goes to daycare during the day and sleeps okay for them. He lays down on his cot at 12 like the rest of the kids and falls asleep between 12:30 and 1 and sleeps until about 2 but lays there like a good boy until every one gets up at 2:30. His teacher gave me his schedule. At home, though, it's awful. The fighting is impossible. I've tried everything. I've rocked him, took him for rides in the car, sat with him, patted his back, rubbed his head, put him in bed and told him it's time to go to sleep and left the room. I've tried soft music, I've tried no music. I've tried rain sounds (since the first time he slept through the night was during a thunderstorm!). We have a routine that consists of a warm bath with "bedtime" bath and a story followed, currently, by a fight. He has a variety of animals that he will sleep with (one at a time of course). I don't know what else to do. It's been suggested that I lock him in but with his anxieties I don't think I can do that. His daddy was gone for two nights and since then it's gone from 15 minutes to get to sleep to upwards of 2 hours! I'm at a loss and don't know what else to do. I don't think bedtime should be a fight. I want him to sleep. Help!
