A couple of ideas... If you don't have a bedtime routine, make one.. warm bath, laying in bed with a book or telling stories or something like that. You can find and order magnesium oil, which you can use on little kids to help them relax naturally, be sure to pay attention to dosing suggestions, I think it is pretty small, you rub it on their little body. Finally, sleep is very important, and often time little ones have temporary glitches in their sleep patterns, maybe because of growth spurts...maybe their dreams...who knows, but if he will sleep with you there, then either sleep on his bed with him so you can all sleep or let him come to your bed so you can all sleep. The earth won't stop spinning, you might have to deal with separating into other beds later, but that is not all bad especially if it means everyone sleeps now...once my firstborn had the second born old enough to sleep with her there weren't any more problems with the in and out of bed thing. Hope one of these ideas helps.
