Children & sleep

[~clover~]

I've thought of that Cat. I'm just not sure he'd go for it. Dd maybe, but not so sure about ds.

He's in my bed again now :/ but I did manage to start them both off in their own beds last night.

Dd2 was like this too, but she was scared of what was outside. Ds is scared of inside. And we sleep every night with the toilet light on just outside his room. Always have.

I will try though.

TFB ds is fine if with one of the bigger girls in the room. He's ok even with just dd3 in there, but she doesn't go to sleep alone yet either.

if the toys are triggers in the dark, can you remove them from the room?

i am about to try a dream catcher.

we have lost our way again, but had success with settling dd in her bed (books etc), waiting awhile then leaving the room to 'go to the toilet' and returning. then it might be leave to get a cuppa and will be back... keep the time you leave only as long as they can stay calm and in bed ... over time, extend the time you leave and eventually dd would fall asleep without us in the room.

He sounds like he's very anxious. Perhaps you can speak to a doctor about this?
