Be consistent! I learned the hard way with my second child. He was more persistant in wanting to crawl in bed with us.
Every night around 2am, he would run into our room. We were so tired we just let him stay. It took forever to get him to stay in his bed.
We finally just started putting him back in bed. He has a nightlight and we made sure he had a flashlight too. (one that the battery cover cannot be removed unless you have a screwdriver, it's a little tykes animal flashlight) Some nights it took 1 or 2 times putting him back in bed.
Some nights we were in our 30's counting how many times we went through this. We found him in the hallway by our door one morning, he didn't come in, but didn't stay in bed either. Also, we didn't talk after the 2nd time.
Just up, tuck back in and go to bed. That seemed to speed things along. With my daughter, she was a sleepwalker.
I put a soft-sided baby gate on her door. (she was not a climber). This way I knew she wouldn't get into anything dangerous.
She scared me, I would find her asleep in the bathroom (that sucked, I hate the lid locks to the toilet. I always had a hard time with those things when I was sleepy), kitchen (we had to baby proof everything to the highest level! ) You can try a baby gate on his door, but if he is a climber, that won't stop the problem.It's a stage, but you have to build trust with your baby to show him that you will be there to get him in the morning.

All three of those are possibilities. See what you can do about eliminating the cause of pain if teething or sick. If nightmares started this pattern, there are a few options 1.
Leave a nightlight on in her room 2. Put a sleeping bag on the floor of your room so at least you have your own bed until she decides that is not QUITE as comfortable as her bed! It is hard to break a habit once it has started.
If you can eliminate possible causes, then simply make the change a bit uncomfortable for her. For instance, do NOT put a mattress or pad under her sleeping bag! But do make sure no physical causes are involved.
If it gets really impossible, see your pediatrician. He might prescribe a mild sedative for her for two or three nights just to break the pattern.
This seems to be a normal part of a toddlers life.. because we went through it with both of our girls. It drove my wife crazy since she hates being woken out of her sleep. But I would simply put them back in their bed, talk to them gently about things I knew they liked until they dozed back off.
This did go on for about a month or two for both of them if I remember correctly until they just grew out of it. But I never let them sleep in our bed because I've heard how hard that habit is to break.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
