    Don't put him in with his brother unless you plan on keeping him there for a long time. If he's going to move into his own room sometime soon anyway, put him there to start with. One less transition to adjust too. If they're going to be sharing a room for a long time though, go ahead and put him in there. (If the brother agrees, of course. Don't force it on either one of them.)

    Make a big deal about sleeping in his own big boy bed, in his own big boy room. Make everything seem exciting. Before bed, read him a story or whatever your bedtime routine is, and then calmly tell him that it's time for him to go to sleep in his bed like a big boy. Tuck him in and give him a hug and kiss, remind him that you're still nearby, and leave the room.

    If he seems scared to sleep without you, try giving him a nightlight and something comforting that has your smell on it. (My daughter used to have an issue with nightmares and was afraid to sleep alone, but we gave her a pillowcase from our bed and it comforted her a lot.) The important thing to remember is not to give in. If he cries or begs to sleep in your bed with you, calmly and sternly tell him that he is a big boy now and big boys sleep in their own rooms. Then put him back to bed if he's gotten out of it, and once again give him a hug or kiss, remind him that you are right down the hall or wherever you are, and leave the room. He will protest for a few nights but eventually, when he learns you mean business, he'll give up.

    Good luck!

    best to put him in his brothers' room(that is, if they get along). If not, let him sleep with you for a while, then when he falls asleep, carry him to his own bed. And if that does not work... Buy him a stuffed toy and stick a picture of your face on it, he get used to it... eventually if not immediately.
