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!

  • We had the same problem, my son would go to sleep (with the help of Melatonine!) but woke during the night and got into our bed. We went away camping for the first time with him ans we expected him to be murder during the night as he was in a strange place and in a tent but he slept all night and every night we were there. We soon realised it must of been that he was in a sleeping bag so he has slept in one ever since and only occasionally gets into our bed now, he still wakes in the night but doesn't get out of bed. He always threw his duvet off but stays in the sleeping bag, I think it makes him feel more secure
