Is it possible to stop my 3 year old from doing this?

Question

I have a 3 1/2 yr old little girl.. and heres the scenario:

When we bought her toddler bed, she was sleeping in bed with us, so eventually she got it through her head that she cant sleep with us, and started sleeping in her bed.

Shes done fine for so long, but we recently moved back in with my fiance's grandma.

Shes got her own room, TV right in front of her bed, I play a movie for her at night, but lately shes been getting up around midnight, and going in bed with grandma.

And of course grandma isnt going to say no.. And she wont say that it bothers her, but its got to being woken up every night.

Any way to stop my daughter from going in there? I really dont think there is, but wondering if anyone else used any little tricks.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I agree with the gate.  My 3 year old son feels more secure with it up.  It takes him an hour to go to sleep without it and minutes with.  He complains about it, but deep down he likes the security.  Your daughter may feel insecure since the move.  Good Luck!

Answer 2

mayb let her fall a sleep n ur room or granny room, den put her n her bed. keep doin dat, it might take awhile,is should work..

Answer 3

I agree with using the baby gate on her bedroom door.

Answer 4

If you can hear her get up, then get up and get her and put her back to bed.  I agree with the gate.  Yes, it will take a few nights, but you should nip this in the bud right away, or else it will be harder to break the habit.

Answer 5

Leave her bedroom door open, but put a baby gate in front of it at night. My aunt did this with her daughter and it took her a few nights but it worked.
