my 26 month old dd has always slept well till now...she will not stay in bed at night and must come out of her room at least 5 times, bawling...i've tried staying with her till she sleeps but that takes like an hour or more, i've tried reading to her and leaving the room...today i got so frustrated that i got super mad at her and yelled at her to stay in bed and sleep or at least not leave her room. she actually did fall asleep almost right away after that but i feel horrible for getting so mad at her.

any tips or advice on how to get the kid to stay in bed and sleep at night?

thanks in advance.

Sorry, no tips. But I did want to say not to be too hard on yourself. We've all been so frustrated that we snapped at our children, only to feel guilty immediately after. We're only human. DD still loves you just as much as before, and she probably doesn't even remember you getting upset. Good luck.
