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, Toni and Lulu-belle for your comments.  i have tried sleeping bag idea.  did not work for us.

    i have been restricting hugs to one per evening.  to help him get to sleep on his own.  i will tackle sleep soon!  the prospect of no sleep scares me...

    i think it's really about biting the bullet and making things clear for him.  he's very much an all or nothing boy.

    if anybody has any idea how much if any, notice i should give him, how much preparation, that would be great!

    many thanks for your comments and support!
