Well, first of all, being yelled at doesn't sound very conducive to sleep, but you probably know that already :)

It would be helpful to know what your daughter is doing instead of going to sleep in her bed - is she trying to sleep in your bed? is she up and running around, trying to keep playing? is she trying to stick close to you? Does she seem anxious, is she crying, is she laughing? Is she staying in bed but unable to actually relax and fall asleep? Those are all different problems that will have different solutions...

I'll repost some general suggestions I made in another recent thread, hopefully something in here is helpful:

>

  • Make sure you're not telling her to go to sleep - that's not physically within her control, and trying too hard to fall asleep can of course make it harder. The expectation should just be lying quietly in bed doing something relaxing.
    >
  • Keep a consistent bedtime routine that includes tucking her in and spending some time with her before you go off to do your own thing. You might talk about what happened that day, name things you're grateful for or looking forward to, or discuss what you want to dream about that night (see next point).
    >
  • Explain to her that thinking about something at bedtime tells your brain that's what you want to dream about, so if she wants to have happy dreams, it's time to start imagining happy things! Ask what she wants to do in her dreams and help her imagine the details. You might invent a special place for her to visit in her dreams, like a treehouse or a fairy castle or whatever she comes up with. Have her close her eyes and imagine it with you, making sure to incorporate all the senses (what can she hear there, what does she smell, etc). You can even agree to "meet up" with her in your dreams and play together!
    >
  • Give her something relaxing to do in bed before she falls asleep instead of just lying there. Looking through a book, listening to calming music, listening to an audiobook, or imagining what she wants to dream about are all good options. Try teaching her some relaxation techniques like deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation; this site has some cool kid-friendly ideas. You could even look into a kids yoga class to help teach her some techniques, or check out a book like Goodnight Yoga. There are also some really cool books with guided relaxation stories you could read to her at bedtime, such as Starbright, Imaginations and Aladdin's Magic Carpet. Also some audio recordings of guided relaxation for kids such as Still Quiet Place, Indigo Dreams, and Bedtime Meditations for Kids.
    >
  • Ask her what SHE thinks would help her stay in bed and feel more comfortable going to sleep - maybe leaving a hall light on, or adding some glow-in-the-dark stars to the ceiling, or having you come by to check on her every 10 minutes until she's asleep? Of course you don't have to agree to everything she asks for, but you want her to feel like she's part of the problem-solving team with you.

    Best of luck!
