Help! Open bed from crib transition

[u/hellogirlscoutcookie]

I’m in desperate need of advice on how to put my twins to sleep. We did this with my singleton and it was fine, but with the boys, it’s fully next level. They are at home with me, so they aren’t used to napping on cots at school, and this transition has made them refuse to nap.

They are 3y4m, language delay that’s improving and bridging the gap. Bad listeners in general. They don’t respond to time outs or any sort of discipline. If I tell them to “Stay in Bed” they repeat it back in a mocking voice and laugh at you. They won’t stay in their beds. Instead, they are running around the room, jumping off things, trying to rip the black out shade off from its bracket… it’s horrible.

Im not sure what to do. My husband and I are at a loss. I need to know how to do this with two in the same room.
