At what age did you kids (or you) start to sleep on their own beds/rooms?

I think I was 9 when i got my own room. I used to share room with my sister but eventually i got the room for myself. At first i had the hard time sleeping out of fear that there will be a monster under my bed since I am all alone or a witch is going to stole me away from home. So during those time I usually sleep with the lights on though i was able to overcame that fear as I grow older. Happy Mylotting!!!

well... i started to sleep alone when i was 13. We moved house and i managed to get my own room.

My little daughter moved to her own bed when she was around 2 and has enjoyed a good night's sleep in her pretty little room until now. She is 7 years old and has not slept in her own bed for weeks. She sleeps in my bed every night because she says she is scared of the dark! It's strange as a toddler she was fine. We are going to try bribery now, whatever will get her back into her own bed!

When I was a kid, I leave with my grandmother. As far as i can remember, I sleep with my grandmother when I was two years old up to ten years old. I am a kid who is always sick. Most of the time i am brought to the hospital. And my grandmother always take good care of me. I started to sleep on my own bed when I was already in my high school years. I am quite mature and already shy to sleep with my grandmother.

I never had my own room...I still dont! (I'm 19, 2 siblings) But my mum did say that if we moved to a bigger place, she would've given me my own room around 8 years of age.

16 years age we allow our kids to sleep their own bed.

When I was a kid we didn't have too many rooms where I could actually sleep on my own so I actually shared a room with my mother up until I was about 9 or so until we made our house bigger and was able to switch everyone around. We only had a two bedroom house at the time and then we built an addition onto the house and added a master bedroom so then we could switch around. I think kids should have their own beds rather early, after cribs and what not I really think kids should get used to sleeping in a bed on their own. After awhile it gets tough to actually get kids used to sleeping in their own rooms if they sleep with the parents all the time.

Well honestly I always slept by myself. From the crib until now. I did share a room with my sister when I was 2 and she was four, but we never did sleep in my parent's bed or room. But I do confess that sometimes when it was storming, they did let me sleep in their floor. I probably did that about five times in my childhood.

hello laydee i always remember sleeping in my own bed in my own bedroom when i was a child. and my three boys have always slept in their own beds in their bedrooms as well. i started them out in their baby beds, then from there into a regular bed. the only time that they want to come crawl in the bed with me is if it is storming outside or if that one of them isn't feeling well. other than that, when it is bedtime they go get into their beds and fall asleep. take care and have a beautiful evening.

all my kids sleep in their own bedroom since they was in 1 years old

I had my own bed since I started elementary school. Back then we'd be proud for sleeping alone, because we'd still have classmates that are scared of the 'things that go bump-bump-bump' in the night, so yeah. The moment I have kids, I'll let them have their choice as to when they want their own bed. I love kids, so that won't be a problem.

I started to sleep in separate from from my parents at age 1 or even earlier. I shared a room with my brother so I wasn't quiet alone. I don't think you should adapt your kid sleeping with you for too long, parents as well as kinds need own space.

I dont think there is any "right" age as all children are different.I do think the younger they will sleep alone and accept it, the better. I have 4 children and they slept alone by the time they were all 2 years. One of them was just over 1 year old.

i started sleeping in my own room when i was i think 7 . cause my mom told me to sleep in my own room at the early age for me to be used to it

I do not remember how old I was. But my daughters all began to sleep on there own at about 2 years old. I had 3 daughters all 2 yrs apart so the bed would get crowded. They liked to crawl into my bed however when they woke up, which was difficult because my husband worked 3rd shift and would just be getting into bed so 5 in a full size bed did not work well. LOL

This is a touchy subject for some. I know some people that there five year olds are still sleeping with them. I dont think it should matter if its a once and a while thing. For those that cant say no and have the children in bed every night so they wont cry or take a fit should have ended it the first time they began to cry when you said no. My daughter is 13. When my husband goes to Puerto Rico to see his mother, she sleeps with me sometimes. I think its kind of nice to have my daughter with me. If it was my husband then it would be creepy. No teen age girl should be in bed with any grown man. Not even her father. Just as a son shouldnt be in the bed with mom at that age. I think that if a child is big enough to sleep in a bed, they should be big enough to sleep alone. Use a night light. Its kind of a sticky situation.

We co sleep as long as the kids wants to. It has been un til they are 3-4 years old. I don't mind having them in bed - I never liked sleeping on my own. I guess I was 3-4 when I stopped to sleep with my parents. I would never force my kids to sleep alone - I don't think that will do them any ggod.

Three years old, and they are fine with it. The lights should be on overnight. Sometimes, they are afraid of the dark and leaving the lights on would assure them you are just there in the next room. Happy mylotting and cheers.

Well I do not have kids of my own yet, but as far as I can remember I started sleeping in my own room when I was around 5 years old. I don't think I liked it much as first but my mum settled me into it by cudding up to me in bed and reading me a story before I went to bed which I always really enjoyed. She'd either tell me stories that she knew or ones that I would pick out from a big fairy-tale story book that I had.

With my daughter, we used a co-sleeper by the bed until she was old enough to find her pacifier and put it back her mouth by herself in the middle of the night. I think she was about 6 months old. She never really slept in the bed with us because she's a little wiggler! The co-sleeper was wonderful because she was sleeping through the night by the time she was 4 weeks old. We never had any problems transitioning her into her own crib, because even when she was sleeping in the co-sleeper at night, she would nap in her crib during the day so she was used to it. If I were you, I'd start on a Friday night (if you have weekends off from work) and put your child in their own room. That way you'll have all weekend to work on it. I bought the "Sleep Easy Solution" book when I was pregnant just in case I needed it when the baby was born. It had some really good tips in it for getting a child of any age to sleep in their own bed. I recommend reading that and prepare yourself for some tears from your child, because I don't believe there is any "cry-free" solution out there. Also, my daughter has had the same routine since she was born, bath, bottle, rock in the rocking chair until she's drowsy, then she's in her crib. I think she likes her routine because she knows what to expect even though she's only 9 months old. I hope this helps and remember to just try to stay calm and patient.
