Yeah it’s normal for a 3 year old to sleep in her mom’s bed, but my 9 year old sister still won’t sleep in her own d.amn bed! We have tried getting her a night light, sleeping with our pet dog, reading bedtime stories, making her take baths before bed, leaving the hall light on, leaving our doors open, steamers, soothing sound machines, EVERYTHING! And the thing is, whenever I watch scary movies with friends she always wants to watch them, but I say "no you’ll get too scared and sleep with mom again" and she’ll ALWAYS say, "NO! I promise I won’t be scared! Please please Please!" so my mom always lets her, and of course she gets scared. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
believe me i have told her NO every single time I watch a scary movie, but my mom is such a pushover to her that she always tells me to shut up and let her watch the movie too.
My sister won't sleep in her own bed!!?

Your mom has to step up to the plate and make sure she stays in her bed, it’s her job. Every time your sister comes out your mom has to take her back in. It might be 40 times in an hour, but mom cannot give in. Also she needs to find something else for her to do besides watch scary movies or you and your friends need to watch them somewhere else. She could go to a friend’s house when your friends are there.

lock her into her room when you and friends are watching scary movies.

You have to have tough love. Tell her no. Always tell her no. She will eventually stop. It is time for her to sleep in her own bed. She is too old to be acting like that.

give her pills to go to sleep faster then she will sleep on her bed or just act tough on her, don’t be soft on her

a nine year old shouldn’t be watching scary movies.
lock her in her room with a different video, like barbie or something.
