Children & sleep

[~clover~]

I need to book him in for his constipation issues for a check up anyway, so I'll talk to the gp & see what he says.

Thanks

I let DS2 (4yo) go to sleep with his bedside lamp on. This is a new thing. Up until about 4 months ago he would not have a problem in going to bed in total darkness with the door shut. Suddenly he started to ask that the light be left on. I tell him okay and that I will turn it off once he's asleep. He knows how to turn it on so if he wakes up during the night (which.he.does.every.single.night. ...erm, but that's a whole other gripe!) he switches it on and goes to the toilet.

FWIW when DH is away I still check my walk-in robe and yes, I've been known to check under the bed too.
