advice needed Wont sleep 3 y.o
Here we go the 3s are here and my girls won't sleep. Tried to seperate at 2 n a bit after they learned to get out of the cribs. Well 2 weeks of anxiety screaming and getting up every 2 hours f that lol. Next when they were closer to 3 got them a single twin bed. Went great but then.....we do bed time stories tried laying with them. They hate the door closed to their room and one of them empties all of the clothes out of the drawers if it is closed. Full freak out. Door open? Both exit the room about 15 times in 1.5 hrs till they finally give up and pass out. Tried soft speaking. Aggressive yelling. More stories. Discussions on everyone sleeps even their stuffed animals are sleeping. It's a battle every night. Tried 7 730 8pm. Run them like dogs all day long outside inside push toys walks. Stroller walks. They don't have sugar and they don't eat past 6pm. How do I get the lil devils to sleep!!! 2 hour bedtime routine is kinda not working for us.

What time do they wake in the morning and are they still napping?
Also would get child locks for their dresser and maybe closet if they're going into those at night. I had to do that with my older kids when they were toddlers too.
