My eight year old son is so difficult at bedtime. I’ve had all the usual excuses over the years but now he’s saying he’s scared to go to sleep in his room and he doesn’t feel safe. Is this just to get me to let him sleep on the sofa (my bed is in the living room) or is there a genuine fear there? This is not every night!
we have the strict routine and he’s allowed half hour on his iPad (one of his obsessions) before bed but then he creates, and if I try to make him go back to bed, as I’m tired and want to go to sleep, he goes into full blown meltdown.
can anyone explain to me what’s going on with him and how I can help him?
ive already given up my big room for him so he’s got what he wanted and I now sleep in the living room.
just want him to be happy and comfortable
