My 5 yr old has a hard time sleeping by himself. When he was a baby he had a crib in my husband and I's room, once he got bigger it was a toddler bed, then when we remodeled our home and added another bedroom he now has his own bed but sleeps in the same room as his brother who is 16. He always sleeps in his room, but often either sleeps in his brother's bed or occasionally sleeps in bed w/mommy and daddy.sleep in our bed. Once or twice when she was sick I slept in her bed with her, but she is well aware that those were exceptions. She has been a good sleeper, sleeping through the night since she was 8 weeks old. She rarely wakes during the night, but knows that if she needs us we are right across the hall. We put a baby gate in her doorway to keep her from wandering the house, should she wake up during the night. We always leave the room before she goes to sleep, so because she is comfortable falling asleep on her own, she is less likely to call upon us if she does wake during the night.
My daughter is happy, healthy, & confident and enjoys having
