My husband and I originally tried standing outside of our daughter's room at nap and bedtime to catch her before she got out of her bed. It quickly became tiring, frustrating, and worst of all - our daughter thought it was a big game.
NEW TACTIC! Now we get her in bed, read books, turn on her music, and then leave her be for about 15 minutes. Once 15 minutes have passed, we check in on her and almost every time she's in bed. And even though we can hear her running around in her room and getting into her closet, we still leave her be until the time is up. So far it's working much better than our original plan and we usually only have to go up twice now to check on her before she's asleep. Of course we did have to remove her diaper basket from her room since she tried sleeping with all of her diapers and wipes one day.
Good luck to everyone out there making the transition!
