Hi imperfect mum's I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and I am trying to get them to both go to sleep without me present eg laying with them or sleeping in my bed I usually just take them to their bed give them a kiss and a firm warning not to get out of bed then I leave when I leave they cry I'm I doing the right thing I feel bad

is it real tears or crocodile tears? how long do they cry for?
Real tears and probably for a good 15 minutes they have a teddy to sleep with
I would give the four year old a few more nights and expect it to get better.
i wouldnt expect a two year old to be able to do this.
Same, I'd expect the 4 year old to do this, I'd probably sit next to the two year old and fade myself out more slowly
