Can you believe.....

My two year old still don’t go sleep on her own I have to be in the room for her to go sleep, if I leave she get up and messes about and even wakes her baby sister up just so I come back in.
I’ve tried sitting just outside her room and going in and out every so often I’m running out of ideas.
Her baby sister who is 8 months sleeps so much better but if I’m in the room she fights sleep so you can imagine.
It is partly my own fault I held her a lot when she was a baby she was my first and I just wanted to be with her but know I’m suffering and so is she..,...
Any advice?

That sucks you have a little one in the same room. That ruins a lot of tactics.

Maybe put the younger child with you for a few nights until the two-year old learns the new limits.

Boundaries are hard to implement afterwards. It takes a heck of a lot more patience and it's going to be painful for both of you.
