My 2 and a 1/2 year old daughter hates going to sleep at night. Any ideas?

EVERY SINGLE night no matter how tired she is she just screams and screams and screams.

I feel guilty for doing her a favour and putiing her to bed!!

Has anyone ever had this issue? and what did you do to resolve it?

Im thinking that maybe she needs a night light and is scared of the dark? but i have always been under the impression that she needs it to be dark in order to sleep properly?? im really confused here and need some support.

Thankyou in advance for your responses.

    If you are worried about light from a night light, put it on a timer.

    Try a night light. Try laying with her or staying in the room with her until she falls asleep.

    She could have reflux. My sister did the same thing as a baby. Yes, children sleep the same with a nightlight.
