Why is it hard for my 22 mos daughter to start to sleep by herself? always so excited b4 sleep although already sleepy and told me she want to sleep?

Routine: Help her by having a routine - same time each night, quieting the house, limiting exposure to TV and electronics, possibly a bath and a bedtime story. Set up the expectation that sleep is what happens at that time. Make that your normal. And prepare for her to test the limits. Good luck.
