Answer 2

My younger brothers had this problem.  They were 7 and 5 and they never would sleep in their own beds.  So they would climb in my be.  I  eventually got irratated (they took my bed!) so when they would come in i would take them  back to their room and if they came back in my room i would put them in their room.  Eventually they stopped sleeping in my room.

Answer 3

make her sleep with a sibling

Answer 4

get a puppy or kitten and make them both get used to sleeping only in her bed.be firm and show her who the parent is.

Answer 5

This is a behavioral problem. Meds do not work.  Keep putting her back in own room, even if it is repeatedly. Do not give in to crying and temper tantrums, etc....You must stay firm or it will not stop.  Firm, consistency is the key.  Add a night light to her room, that often helps.

Answer 6

I have the same problem from time to time with my 8yr old.  She is an only child and gets scared and nervous down the other end of the house by herself.  We bought a puppy that was supposed to sleep with her in her room - now we have a cat, two dogs and a child crowding our room and sometimes our bed! We can go weeks without problems and then a whole week or so with problems.  Perseverance is the only thing that seems to work.  Keep putting her back in her room, music on if that helps and don't give in.  May take you a week or two of very long nights, but it will be worth it in the end.  DONT GIVE IN NO MATTER HOW TIRED YOU GET!
