We do this with our 'roamer'. He's 3, and he tends to get up and roam the house at night. I worry about him climbing and falling, and dh worries about the fireplace, so on the nights he can't settle down, he goes down in our room, where we can hear him if he gets up. When he does, one of us is right there to send him back to 'bed'.
This doesn't happen every night, and since we've started doing this, he actually sleeps in his own bed more often and better. Oh, also, some kids sleep better with a small fan to make white noise while they sleep. Dh can't sleep without one, and neither can dd. Maybe that would help him stay asleep.
