3 Yr Old in her own room

How do you teach your child how to sleep in their own room? My daughter currently sleeps in her own bed but it’s in my room so we have two beds in my room, but I’m trying to get her to start sleeping in her own room I’m just not sure how to start without her crying so much or me feeling Bad. Any advice, please

My girls started from birth honestly but I always recommend for people to start trying with their daily naps and if that goes great then start at night and whenever they wake place them back into the bed. . I feel with time they truly do get used to things. It also helps if you make her room a bit more “fun” .. pictures on the wall, night lights, fuzzy blankets and like a bunch of stuffed animals too. 🙌🏾🫶🏾

I started by sleep training her to not expect me to lay wit her.once it’s bed time I just lay her on my bed and tell her good nught. As as time goes on I let her choose what decorations she wants in her room. I decorated it and she’s been loving

Oh my goodness that’s a tough one. I have a six-year-old and a recently three-year-old and we tried to start training my six year-old before my other baby was born. I was too tired too exhausted., I think each family is different. Each kid is different when we lost our very first son our six-year-old was close to us every night. We could let her sleep alone so she never sleeps in her room still one day they will and when they do, you’ll miss it lol it’s persistency I think and consistency making their environment in their room, comfy and cozy and they feel safe, And it’s a lot of work for weeks you gotta get up and put them back in their room But even when we would sleep in there with her, she’d still sneak in the bed with us and we’d have to go put her back so we gave up lol so my husband sleeps on the couch with my six-year-old and I sleep in our California king with my three year Good luck, mama

@Whatever . . That’s a good idea. I should try decorating her room. I didn’t think about that. Thank you!

@Ife thank u i definitely will try decorating her room so she would like to be in there

@Chelsy 🤣 oh yeah I definitely wouldn’t mind it at all because she still my little baby, i would love to keep her here but also I wanna make sure she don’t feel like she HAS to sleep with me. I’m trying to give her more independence because I’m already very overprotective and I’m trying to steer away from that.

If bedding isn't purchased yet have her choose it. More personal to her wants and hopefully she'll be more inclined to want to sleep in her own room. But consistency is key..

I agree, start with naps in her new room, and spend more time there with her, like reading or playing so she develops good associations with her room, and when the time comes for nighttime sleep, I’ve always found telling my toddler mommy will come whenever she wakes up and needs me. My toddler was EBF until 3yrs, a few weeks ago, and used to wake often, now not so much, but she always knew if she woke up I would come to her, sleep represents a huge separation for kids from care givers so giving them extra comfort and letting them know you’ll be there helps. I still have a baby camera in there and tell her mommy can see her when she wakes up and will always come. We snuggle until she falls asleep, yup I crawl up in her tiny toddler bed lol. Takes time but gives us both comfort and no tears at bedtime 🫶

I slept with her in a separate bed in her room while she got used to it, then eventually snuck out, then let her know I'll stay while she falls asleep but will leave for my own room after
