How did you convince your toddle to sleep at night? I'm getting to a desperate point...?

I have a lot of trouble at nap time, the thing that works best for me is making sure she is actually tired. If you have a lot going on right before bedtime she might gain more energy but through out the day we make sure she is always moving. Also, the night light and the baby projector might actually distract her from the sleeping. If you use it only keep one of it's features, either the lullaby or the images, too many and she may become overwhelmed. I babysit and 18 month old who would always remove her clothes when she woke up and pee on the sheets. Her parents tell her when they lay her down that if she keeps her clothes on she can have a treat, and she does now and when she gets up she runs to the pantry. Now I don't suggest using food to reinforce good behavior but that is one thing that can help.
