New sleeping issue for my 8 year old.


Hi r/parenting, I have an increasingly difficult problem on my hands. My child has their own room that is just down the hall from the room my wife and I sleep in.Each night, my wife puts her to bed. This requires her to lay in bed with my kid until they fall asleep. I sometimes don't get to fall asleep with my wife due to this, but that's not here nor there. My wife eventually sneaks out of the bed and sleeps beside me in our bed.Increasingly, the kid will wake up during the night and come wake up my wife (and me in the process) and either tries to crawl in our bed or takes my wife to her room to repeat the bedtime routine. However, now it isn't as easy to sneak out of the bed. The kid will complain, cry, anything to stop my wife from leaving. It's the middle of the night and no one is in good spirits. My wife will degrade quickly to yelling at her and berating her for her inability to fall asleep on her own.In the end, I end up leaving my own bed and letting her sleep comfortably until morning.This problem is unique to my wife. She travels often and my daughter and I do not have this night time issue.If you have any suggestions, I'm open. Thank you in advance.tl;dr My child wakes up in the night and can't fall asleep on their own. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2pYJDrg
