GIRLY says to) It's 5:00 pm aploum says to) Hello Supernanny Jo, I really need some advice... My daughter is 21 months and has always been a good sleeper. She has been sleeping in her own bed and through the night since she was about 3 months old. In the beginning of June we went on vacation with her, we had a crib for her to sleep in but the only place we could put it was in the room with my husband and I. She had no problem going to sleep in it, however ever since we have been home we have been having problems with her. Jo Frost says to: ***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , mommy of 3! Mady's Mom says to I really need some advice from you Jo! myusername says to Shannnnn! ***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , nannyof5! twinsmommy says to: April 16th we converted the twins (20 mo. - girls) beds into toddler beds b/c they were climbing out. June 26th I joined the forum for advice & received awesome support! With help from Christy, Wendy & a few other ladies I was able to get the stay in bed technique to work, after 5 or 6 days - BUT - my sweet little girls have turned on us. They won’t stay in bed, they stay in their room but then they get into the toy box & the drawer babysoup says to: Hi Shan twinsmommy says to: Most recently, Elizabeth, has been waking her sister, Emmalyn, if she falls asleep b/4 she’s ready to sleep. The worst part is she’s waking her by BITING and PUSHING HER OUT OF BED. Last night I had to take Emmalyn from her room to let Elizabeth fall asleep b/4 I could put Emmalyn into bed. ***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , soliloquise! mommy of 3 says to: hey everyone twinsmommy says to: The MOST worst part is that Emmalyn is now scared to be left alone in her room with Elizabeth. When I say she bites her to wake her up, that’s not all that accurate, she’s biting her just to bite her too. Poor little Emmalyn is learning how to play the victim & is beginning to whine even when she’s not being bitten. aploum says to: For the past month (since we have been home from vacation) she now refuses to go to sleep in her own bed without screaming, crying and eventually throwing up. I have tried many methods, I have let her cry, but she will cry and scream for hours standing up, she will not sit or lay down, she just stands in her crib with her blanket in her hand. I have tried going in and laying her back down without saying anything and walking out again, but that just makes her more upset. poppy0680 says to: Hi shan!!! Southern Girl says to: hey Shan! nfldpenguin says to: JO, Mostly with following directions, example to stop doing something that he is not allowed to do or something dangerous twinsmommy says to: My husband is beginning to think we need to try something drastic like spanking or something the like. We’ve done time in the corner but that doesn’t seem to work. We did buy the “Teeth are Not for Biting” book but that seemed to make it worse!!!! GIRLY says to: hey soliloquise says to: hello everyone, trouble has arrived from wales :) twinsmommy says to: Jo we’re so desperate for help!! Elizabeth is a great, smart little girl but I just can’t seem to get her to stop biting her sister, Emmalyn. Emmalyn has bite marks on her arms, legs, even her feet. It’s embarrassing when we go out in public, I fear someone is going to think I’m hurting her b/c of the bruises - it’s awful. PLEASE HELP US!!!! mommy of 3 says to: this is alot better chatroom Southern Girl says to: hi, sam :) myusername says to: yes it is..... JenJen_26 says to: yes it is aploum says to: She wants me near her so she can hold on to me. If I go in her room and sit by her crib so she can hold my hand she is fine and she will go to sleep, or if I bring her in bed with me she goes right to sleep. For the past week I have been consistent at having her fall asleep in her own bed instead of mine, but it is a constant struggle. I usually end up having to sit by her crib so she can touch my hand and then she falls asleep. Please give me some advice on how to handle this situation soliloquise says to: hello to babysoup southern and shan and of course jo !! < swoon > lol babysoup says to: Do you like the coffee things shan? aploum says to: I don't know what to do anymore. My husband works nights so I am basically a single parent who works full time and then comes home to take care of the baby. I have no free time to myself, except for when she falls asleep. This has been quite a struggle lately so I am exhausted and have no time to unwind before I go to bed. mommy of 3 says to: what mommy of 3 says to: coffee things babysoup says to: Hi Sam ***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , Mrs.Reb! soliloquise says to: :) myusername says to: Shan do you have myspace yet? mommy of 3 says to: ohhhhh isee, never mind, lol mommy of 3 says to: not yet babysoup says to: hehe Southern Girl says to: hey christy babysoup says to: hi casey aploum says to: Sorry for typing such a long message...

She had always slept through the night since 2mo without any problems until now. Since moving her she has had a terrible time both going to sleep and staying asleep. The first night I thought she was just playing the get out of bed because I can game so I used the Stay In Bed technique of walking her back to bed this lasted for four hours before she finally stayed in bed ***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , msbelle08! twinsmommy says to: How do we "handle" it? soliloquise says to: wow poor jo is gonna need a valium after this chat lol poppy0680 says to: lol soliloquise says to: < trying to keep up > GIRLY says to: (lol) mommy of 3 says to: Dana, happy birthday myusername says to: lol xanac is better myusername says to: xanax* twinsmommy says to: Like I said, we've done the timeouts (in the corner), it just doesn't seem to phase her. babysoup says to: Happy bday Dana! msbelle08 says to: Hello Jo. ***:Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , christa! babysoup says to: hi christa lovemybabe says to: Jo, how long does it take for the controlled crying method to work? myusername says to: 12 more days til my birthday I am so excited... me and Jo are one month apart in bdays lol. christa says to: Hi Christy..boy I struggled with that one Jo Frost says to: babysoup says to: with what mommy of 3 says to: hi christy, ohhhh i mean christa, lol Jo Frost says to: nfldpenguin says to: Jo, I find that my son will listen to my husband more than he will to me. My husband using a strict tone with him, I try to do the same but I don't get the same response. I have being doing time outs but not with much luck Jo Frost says to: mommy of 3 says to: heheheheh im a brat Mady's Mom says to: My 20 mo old climbed and fell out of her crib so we moved her to a toddler bed. She once slept through the night since 2 months now she wakes throuhout the night. The first night I tried the stay in bed then I started using the separation technique I have been doing this for about three weeks I can't go out of the room or it starts all over christa says to: yes you are Mady's Mom says to: Also she wakes multiple times during the night christa says to: As the tune to Jeopardy plays in the background christa says to: lol JenJen_26 says to: What do you do when your potty training and things are going great and you almost have them out of the pull-ups and then she hits a brick wall and now wants nothing to do with it! This is happened twice! Mady's Mom says to: usually wakes about 12 and then it is ever hour after that until she gets up for the day at 6am we have a very strict bedtime routine also mommy of 3 says to: hello, hahaha, i thought all went dead Mady's Mom says to: she only takes one nap of about 2 hours during the daytimechrista says to: lol christa says to: that's going on with me too jen Jo Frost says to: aploum says to: How do I get my 21 mth daughter back into the routine of going to sleep in her own bed?

We also have a four month old daughter. Any tips to keep him from having too much seperation anxiety ? msbelle08 says to: Hello Jo. I am a mother of 4 children with the ages ranging from 6 yrs., 5yrs., 20 monthes and 4 mos. I am overwelmed and somewhat depress. I would like to incorporate some kind of routine with the the older children. I know I will have some success with the 6 yr. old but the 5yr. old is a challenge. He is very strong-willed. *** (00:20):Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , carlacaprio!

Jo Frost says to: Jo Frost says to: christa says to: i try to talk her through on im...jen tell her to hold on Jo Frost says to: Mady's Mom says to: we have a very strict bedtime routine, my other problem is the nightwaking starts about 12 and every hour after that until she gets up at 6 because she won't stay in bed any longer than that myusername says to: Mayd just keep putting her back in the bed and don't give into her. It might take hours but it will be worth it in the end. Jo Frost says to: Jo Frost says to: nfldpenguin says to: i don't think my post worked. Jo, my husband is going to Afghanistan for 7 months.

I don't get it christa says to: that's mean Kristen Jo Frost says to: JenJen_26 says to: yeah...it was not too far from where i live.. *** (00:50):myusername quit the room *** (00:50):Welcome to Jo Frost Chat , myusername! myusername says to: lmao theyre so cute though they egt all big eyed and go woooowww like the lion king? wendi says to: so maybe ignor ones behavior and deal with one at a time Jo Frost says to: Tiffani says to: But if only one is in the naughty spot, can I put him in his crib to seperate them? My house is small msbelle08 says to: jo thank you soo much. I truly appreciate any advice you give. soliloquise says to: madysmum stay strong you can do it, stay consistant and chat on the forum for support these wenches rock :) Jo Frost says to: wendi says to: good point twinsmommy says to: We have a small house too. It's hard but can be done. Mady's Mom says to: thx sol... but how do i continue the technique if it won't go any further? and what do i do about the nightwaking? Tiffani says to: brb twinsmommy says to: So, no suggestions on how to handle the biting, JO? myusername says to: Can we keep this chatroom up all the time for the users too? And there cna be scheduled times for when Jo comes? soliloquise says to: i only go by what i seen jo do so dont know just dont give up nfldpenguin says to: I think the chat room would be a great idea lovemybabe says to: Thanks for all your advice Jo! soliloquise says to: you will get there wendi says to: Jo at what age should you prohibit a child from sucking his thumb and what method would you use Mady's Mom says to: so can i get some advice from jo? twinsmommy says to: I love chat rooms. they can be tons of fun. myusername says to: Yeah they are. Jo Frost says to: wendi says to: I told her that Jo...but noooooo she wouldn't listen to me wendi says to: lol twinsmommy says to: oh... so time outs for biting at 20 months is a no nol. myusername says to: lol wendi Mady's Mom says to: i have checked both and all nothing about it not workingonce getting to the door Mady's Mom says to: and isn't clear on the nightwaking Jo Frost says to: JenJen_26 says to: paige lives in time out wendi says to: awesome... myusername says to: lmao JenJen_26 says to: i know that sounds bad but it's true twinsmommy says to: So, we just let her keep biting & bruising her sister? That doesn't seem right to me. babysoup says to: Cara is getting better, we haven't been there all week christa says to: I wa s thinking because they were so close to two it was ok...but I guess 4 months can make a world of difference in their comprehension! Mady's Mom says to: should i be trying some other technique?? JenJen_26 says to: well that is good christy soliloquise says to: with nightwaking dont you repeat the same thing ie saying its bedtime at first and leaving then doing same silently so as not to reinforce it? myusername says to: Redirect her away form ehr sister when it happens.. lower your tone and show her with facial expression you mean business and firmly tell her no, remove her form the other child. Its the best you can do. wendi says to: Jo it's Wendy...I had to get creative and create a new account to get on here...Just so you know...:) Jo Frost says to: twinsmommy says to: huh... so what do I do? wendi says to: :) Tiffani says to: Jo, I don't get it, do they not understand at that age?
