Hi all,
Looking for a bit of advice again in a recent change in my 5 year old.
It’s been going on since June.
He’s not able to be in a room alone. He initially starts to shouts where are you over and over when he can’t see me, I may be In the kitchen bathroom etc I will respond back to him Mummy’s in…. He will say he’s scared and run to where ever I am and not leave my side. If I was to have a shower he waits sitting on floor for me to finish. If I’m cooking meals he will sit on the kitchen floor.
At night time when he wakes up the panic is so much more heightened. When he wakes His body is shaking, he is soaked through his clothes with sweat and he’s is totally panicked. He can’t even move off of the bed to come for me. It’s takes around 10-15mins to settle him and sometimes up to an hour before he’s completely calm again,
If I wake to use the bathroom or go drink water etc he panics and comes with me.
Each night it seems to get worse and im lost at what to do.
We have a night light projector and I’ve had to leave the bed room light on and leave the door open and the hall light on. I’ve resorted to Buying a new baby monitor that way I can hear him as soon as he starts to cry as it’s difficult to hear with him being upstairs. He also take melatonin it it’s never fully worked.
