sleeping with parents...how to end it as peacefully as possible!

lozenge

hi!

i have a 13 year old with Autism, ADHD, sensory integration problems and mod. learning difficulties.

he goes to sleep in his bed.  with lots of hugs.  then at about 2 am (sometimes before, sometimes after) he comes into my bed. and wraps himself around me.

i'm planning on ensuring he stays in his bed...

i have: 1 social story

er, that's it!

anybody been there? any useful tips?

thanks!

  • Thanks, Kabi,

    it is helpful to hear! 

    he can go to sleep ok (well...) it's just when he wakes up, he just comes to my bed.  usually i don't even wake up myself, not straight away.  it's when i want to move and i can't that i wake up, by then he is fast asleep: wrapped around me!

    let's hope praise works for him too...i worry that he will feel rejected, because he may not understand why suddenly he has to really sleep in his own bed!  have you (Kabi) ever found that a social story was useful in any way? have you any experience of them?

    many thanks for posting!
