Almost 4 year old having trouble with going to bed

Posted By Ellen Johnson on July 27, 1999 at 10:31:14
My daughter, who is almost 4 years old, has recently begun resisting going to bed in her room at night. Up until this point, she always went to bed pretty well, although she wanted someone to lay with her for 5-10 minutes. Now, she says she's afraid and cries for 1/2 hr-45 minutes (at a minimum) and it is making bed time very trying. I don't know exactly what to do so that we can get past this stage. She always wants to fall asleep watching Barney or be in her older brother's room to sleep. I'm really concerned that she is not getting enough sleep because we have to get her up for daycare and she has been going to bed almost an hour later than her previous bedtime by the time we get past all the trauma.
