How can I get her to sleep with the light off?
When toddlers have the light on, it probably means they are afraid of the dark. To help your little one become more comfortable being alone in the dark there a few things you can do. First, have some fun in the dark. You can play a game in the dark or simply sit and listen together to see what types of sounds you can hear in the dark. Second, you might also need to gradually turn down the light. You can use a dimmer switch or change to a lower wattage light bulb until she can be in the dark on her own at bedtime.
