Hi i have a 91/2 year old daughter, and her sleeping habits are terrible. And always have been, i have tried everything, to no avail. Ive tried, keep putting her back, like "suppernanny" says lol ive tried discipline, ie, groundings, withdrawels of privalages. And rewards for when she does actually sleep.....but now i am at a loss, any help and advice would be VERY appreciated.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
but here is something i used as a nanny as a reward system. the two of you come up with a really fun activity. disneyland, a day of minigolf, perhaps a musical, whatever she wants. then she has to understand that if she wants to do this, she must go to bed when asked, without getting up all night. and you can keep track of this by getting a jar, and for everynight she sleeps in her room w/o getting up, she gets to put a cotton ball in the jar. once the jar is full you get to go do that really great fun thing together and celebrate! if it is broken (she stays in bed 3 nights then gets up the next) then you start over, taking ALL the cotton balls out. stick to it, dont take out just one cotton ball, ALL of em. and keep the jar somewhere where she cannot have access to it unless its in your hands. avoid cheating...i made that mistake once...good luck!
Now that I have changed his diet, he falls asleep much more easily and does not ask for food at night.
