SIX YEAR OLD WON'T GO TO SLEEP ON HER OWN Make the rewards geared to her big girl identity. So, a manicure with Mommy, a fun trip somewhere fun, a sleepover at Grandma’s, whatever.

If she knows that sometimes you relent and stay with her and sometimes you REASONS YOU AREN'T HAVING SEX WITH YOUR HUSBAND THAT AREN Many women tell me that they aren’t having sex with their husband because they don’t feel emotionally close.
