My son is almost 7 years old. He still sleeps in bed with me and my husband. We tried in several occasions to move him but he start crying so hard that I am worried that he will get sick. How we can get child to stop sleeping with parents?

I don't think there is a set age; it's whenever the parents and child are ready for him to. But since your kid is pre-school or older, then I'd say it's way past time! I think you should ask for professional help with this. We had a co-sleeper for ours, for son was in it until 2, my daughter was done with it about 18 months.

One thing I learned on a program called Supernanny was that you put him back into his bed and sit on the floor with your head down until he goes to sleep. If he gets out of his bed, stand up and put him right back. Repeat until he falls asleep. It took a little while for it to work. After that's accomplished, then you(next time) put him in bed and walk right out. If he keeps coming out of his room, keep on putting him back until he goes to sleep. Next, after you've accomplished that, everything should fall into place and be okay. That's what I would do. It worked.

I slept with my parents till I was 4, and now im 12. the reason why i stop is that my mom gave me a minney mouse that's 4 feet tall, she told me that the minney is my mommy.(well, I kinda believed that Embarassed) Back to the problem, I think your boy won't believe that. so try buying him a nightlight. Very Happy
