How can I get my kid to stay in bed?

Anyone else have problem with their kids getting up a bunch of times when it’s bedtime??! Find anything that helped?

make it their cozy place they can go to for anything, even if they need a time out, thats there safe spot. hype it up with blankets they love, stuffies they adore and create an annual bedtime book time where they’re in there bed and you read to them.
they still may want to play, just allow them a toy they enjoy in bed with them and let them play there with it under the rule they have to stay laid down with it.
transitioning can be hard for kids, it’s my son’s biggest issue right now, and we just take it slowly day by day on how ideas go.
it’s normal they get up with every excuse, want more hugs n kisses, need a drink, theyre bored, etc… just stay consistent. they’ll eventually get it

Are they taking naps during the day? Maybe it’s time to cut out the naps. How old? Maybe hungry?

Age?
Whats the reason behind them getting up? Not tired? Don’t wanna sleep alone ?

Melatonin and empty threats :rofl::rofl::rofl:
