Parents understand that training your kids when bedtime is, is not an easy task. Sometimes it can take weeks or months, and when you finally find a routine that works… You stick with it.

At the release of the IMAX Pandas film narrated by Kristen Bell, she tells us her controversial way she gets her kids to sleep. “My 3-year-old decided to stop sleeping about nine months ago. And every night, when we put her to bed, she turns the lights on, which annoys the 4-year-old [Lincoln], and she will move furniture, and she bangs on the door with different, hard toys. We switched the door knob. We turned the lock on the outside. I’m sorry, I know that’s controversial, but we lock it when she gets in there, and we stand outside and say, ‘We love you, we will talk to you in the morning, but now, it’s time for sleep. And after about 10 minutes, she’ll wind herself down. And then, before we go to bed, obviously, we unlock it.”
