A light on, door open, etc. If he says that he wants to sleep with his sisters, talk to them separately about it and see if they would mind. Perhaps a simple Ikea mattress on the floor (that could be easily picked up on the weekends when everyone is home to make more space) would suffice.

Our oldest (7 year old girl) had desperately wanted her own room and now that she's got it and the boys share a room, she feels left out. She's the only one with her own room. <br /><br />I say stick to your guns. Once they start crawling into bed with others, it's really really really tough to get them to stop!CynthiaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04960741754070312487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601606375627781205.post-26002416363303914902010-02-01T14:35:19.097-05:002010-02-01T14:35:19.097-05:00I'm more of a stick-to-your-guns type of perso...I'm more of a stick-to-your-guns type of person, but if little Jakey decided he wanted to bunk with the big boys every once in a while, I'm sure I'd let him do it. It's hard to say not to those faces, isn't it? I figure as long as I'm keeping all three of ours out of OUR bed, I'm still winning. ;)Katherine @ Grass Stainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258123193553569060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601606375627781205.post-33828769285375102962010-02-01T14:16:23.656-05:002010-02-01T14:16:23.656-05:00lil mouse - he has so many stuffed animals in ther...lil mouse - he has so many stuffed animals in there - but maybe one that just stays in there and guards his bed..That might work - thanks!<br /><br />This Mom - that is a great idea - will try that tonight!

Which serves 2 purposes. Let's each on the girls have a night alone in thier room and lets them have some quality time with brother.<br /><br />I like the animal idea but it need to be BIG. <br /><br />Good luck.This Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901260218798651456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601606375627781205.post-52141812499937613442010-02-01T10:23:26.445-05:002010-02-01T10:23:26.445-05:00it wouldnt hurt to say that he will eat any monste...it wouldnt hurt to say that he will eat any monsters that come near him and will also solve any other problem your boy can come up with!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474928571871603804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601606375627781205.post-51877916581283898852010-02-01T10:22:54.824-05:002010-02-01T10:22:54.824-05:00he needs a super cool brand new giant stuffed anim...he needs a super cool brand new giant stuffed animal to sleep with!

He's been such a great sleeper his whole life but recently he comes into our room in the middle of the night asking to sleep with us or wanting to go downstairs. We're usually so exhausted that we let him crawl into bed with us but it's making things worse and I think encouraging him to do less self soothing back to sleep.
