Answer: My wife and I had this problem and thank God we nipped it in the bud. Many of our friends did not.Just ask yourself, when your son is 16, do you want him sleeping with you? Obviously not, so you have to break the habit sometime. Now, do you think it will be easier to break after 1 year or several years?The time is now. Children learn to eat with utensils, they learn how to tie shoes, and they learn how to put themselves to sleep. Your child has learned how to put himself to sleep in your bed. You have to re-teach him how to fall asleep in his own bed.If you know how long it takes for him to get up and come to your room, say it's 10 minutes, go to him after 7 minutes, rub his back, sing him a short lullabye, or just sit with him a while. Before he gets up to come to you for comfort. Make his bed the place he gets comfort from you, not your bed. Read to him before bed also, with him lying in bed under the covers all ready for sleep.
