Three Year Old Will Not Sleep!!

My three year old daughter has never been a good sleeper. She did go thru a phase when she was in the early part of her second year where she slept well but other than that it has always seemed that nothing gets her to sleep. some nights are livable where she plays in her room, makes a couple requests, and falls asleep around 10 (Bedtime is at 7:30!). But many other nights she refuses to go to sleep. We have the same bedtime routine every night: pjs, brush teeth, read a story, put her brother in his crib, then i snuggle with her in her bed....

6 Month Old - Sleep & Nap Issues

I need some advice on sleep issues for my 6 month old daughter. I feel her sleep is such a mess, I'm not sure where to begin. Granted, she has a minor cold right now so I know I have to wait for that to end before I begin any changes. Issues: Naps. She has always been a horrible napper, since she came out of the infant stage. They were never long enough. Now its hard to get her down let alone have her sleep long enough. Yes, I have put her down when she is showing sleepy signs, but she fights it like crazy. Nighttime Sleep...

Bedtime Problems with 3 1/2 Yr Old

I'm at the end of my rope. My 3 1/2 yr old is fighting me at bedtime. Kicking, hitting, screaming, won't stay in bed and tonight he tossed his drink across the room at me.

14 Month Old Scared of Bathtime

My 14 month old daughter slipped in the tub weeks ago (we don't allow her or her twin brother to stand during bath, but she did it anyway and slipped before we could put her back down). She landed on a toy or the tub plug and ended up with two welts that turned into bruises. Ever since that happened, she screams the second her feet hit the water and doesn't stop until she is out of the tub. Nothing bad has happened in the tub in weeks. Is there anything we can do to make bathtime fun for her again?
