Hi,
The technique that Super Nanny used in one of the shows really does work well. You take the child into the room give kisses and say good night as you lay him into bed. Then sit on the floor next to the bed with your head down. If he gets out of bed pick him up and put him right back into bed (don't say anything!) sit back down and comtinue this untill he is back asleep and leave the room. As the nights go by sit further and further away from his bed untill you are not in there any more. The key is to not say anything or make eye contact. He will understand then that this is sleep time and not time to play with mommy! I hope this works for you....it worked for a friend of mine but only when they followed all the steps. let me know what happens!
