Welcome to DivaTribe

 

A diva accepts herself as she is right now and strives to be even better.
She doesn't change who she is to fit someone else's idea of what she ought to be.
She reaches for her own ideal sense of whom she wants to be.
She's strong; she's courageous; she's creative.

Okay Ladies....I'm looking for some ideas.
My youngest daughter, Mckenna, just turned 10 last week. She has ALWAYS wanted to sleep in our room, but it's time for her to sleep in her own bed.

I have to tell you that we have a neighbor not far away that she is very afraid of. He's a real creep. That said, while I believe that her fear is real, I also think that she uses this to manipulate her daddy.

We have discussed options with her, (boarding up her window, covering it with something, making sure it's locked tightly, letting the dog sleep in her room, etc...) but she just continues to make this a HUGE problem every. single. night. hammer
I'm at a loss. My two older daughters NEVER had a problem with sleeping in their own rooms. My husband babies this one excessively and I am TRYING to help her grow up to be a secure, self-assured young lady.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what did you do? If not....I welcome your ideas!

Sometimes now, when DD wants to sleep with us, we let her fall asleep in our bed with the deal that DH will carry her to her own bed before he goes to sleep.  That way she gets the comfort she's looking for but we all get the sleep we need.
