The gate doesnt work either!!!!?

Question

I just asked bout my daughter staying in her room at night. I got 2 answers saying put a baby gate up. I did that and she climbed over it and knocked it down once too. Shes almost 4, shes not going to fall for that! HELP

Answer 1

Get k**b covers for the inside doorknob on her door.  These make it difficult even for an adult to turn the k**b and open the door...Then shut the door.

Answer 2

If I could give Elaeblue 2 thumbs up I would! Now also know you are going to have a few bad nights trying to get her to realize that she is going to stay in her bed! But YOU have to stick to it, no giving in, not even a little. So be prepared with a box of tissues for yourself.

P.S. take that gate down. That wasn't the best advice for this situation at all, that just gave her another goal, let me see if I can get over the fence.

Answer 3

Then you have to convince her that it is far better to stay in the room. Better yet to stay in the bed.

No more gates. Tell her to stay in bed and keep taking her back to bed. While you do this do not make eye contact, dont talk to her, just take her back. Do it every time --if you do it every time she gets out of bed soon she will just stay there. It gains her nothing to go looking for you.
