My boys are great at a lot of things, but sleeping in their own beds through the night and going to bed easily are not amongst those things. We set up a reward chart for staying in bed. They both took to it pretty well although Cole would sometimes negotiate longer stretches to earn a gift if only for the reason that he go the final say in the number of days.
The first night I tried to enforce the go to bed and stay in bed policy with Kenney he was not having it. Gena encouraged me to tell him I love him and goodnight every time he wandered out, then walk him back into bed. By the sixth time we did this he was so angry when he came to the door of the room I was in that he threw his stuffed animal at me. Turned around and walked himself back to bed. It was pretty funny.
