My son is 3 next week and we've had the devil of a time getting him to go to sleep. He goes to daycare during the day and they have naps from 11:30-1:30. When I put him to bed, usually around 8:30, he's immediately back up and in the living room with us. Sometimes it's 10:30 before he falls asleep, but which time we've been up and putting him back in his room well over a dozen times--the consistency route doesn't work. A swat on the butt doesn't work, snuggling with him for a bit doesn't work. He thinks it's all a game and I'm at my wits end! I'm thinking maybe putting up a baby gate to keep him in his room. Suggestions?
