t.onscYou are the rulemaker in your home, not Dalia. She is doing these things because they work, and she has become spoiled. Once you put her to bed for the night in her bed, not yours (be sure all of her needs have been taken care of), do not do any more for her. No matter how much she cries, whines, etc., ignore the behavior completely. Not even one little "NO!" By all means, do not bring her into your bed or get out of it and stay beside her. You may find that she gets even worse, but that is actually a good thing! It means that she recognizes that there's a new sheriff in town, and she's not going to run things anymore. She will probably make a last-ditch effort to try to get you to do the things you were doing for her. DON'T GIVE IN! After a few nights, when she realizes that her fussing isn't working, she will stop. Good luck with this! If you need further assistance, you can click on the prompt to start a consult.
