We have a 6 year old daughter who has been doing this for at least 2 years. She sneaks around at night. Last night we caught her up at 2:30am in the living room sneaking around. We've also caught her in her brother's room in the middle of the night. We've caught her looking into our bedroom door, which ends up scaring me half to death. Sometimes, she'll wait till we go to bed and start sneaking around. My problem is that i've run out of ideas to keep her in bed. I don't know what else to do. We've tried grounding, taking things away, and even harsher, the swat on the butt. We've put a night light up in her room, we leave her door open... It doesn't work, we end up catching her again a few days later. Also, what about her need of sleep? We also notice she's up way before us in the mornings. I go to work around 6am, she's up. My 3 year old son has now started coming in our room very early in the mornings and we think it has to do with our daughter waking him up. Please any ideas?
