    My 2 year old son does not sleep in his bed
    My 25 month old used to sleep in his crib for a couple of hours wake up and I would put him in my bed (I know BIG mistake). I just found out that he climbs out of his crib so I now have him in a toddler bed, but he stays there for a couple of minutes gets out and climbs into my bed. I do not know what to do to make him sleep the whole night in his toddler bed.

    You'll need to keep your eye out and when you see him making his way to your bed, lead him back to his own, tuck him in again and say goodnight. This may take you half the night, but eventually he will get the picture that at night, he stays in his room. No talking, no cuddling. When he gets through a whole night without coming to your room, make a big fuss and maybe have a little treat for him. This wouldn't be the time to be soft either. You've got to be strong and consistent for him to understand you will not give in. For a few nights of frustration, it is really worth it in the long run.

    Great advise mopar,as stated above all you can do is keep putting him back in his bed until he finally learns that's where he's got to sleep.the longer you leave it the harder it'll be my friends kids are 6,4 and there still getting up in the middle of the night to climb in her bed.
