Advice needed about my 4yrs-old boy!!
in Preschoolers
Hiya, just wondering if anyone has any tips on what to do about my 4yrs-old!
He was always a really good sleeper etc from a baby. However, last March, we managed to have a new baby (who he loves to pieces), move house to a different county & make him start a brand new pre-school, all within 3 weeks! Needless to say our problems have started since then.
Our new house is much bigger than the last one, and he refuses to be either upstairs or downstairs on his own. He won't go to the bathroom or play in his own room on his own.
Also, because of this, we have now stupidly got ourselves into the routine of having to stay with him until he falls asleep, but during the night he wakes up several times, coming into our room saying he's scared!
We thought the sleepless nights would be because of the new baby..not him!! Anyone got any idea's on how to break this cycle, very all very tired and need fresh ideas!!!

could you get a light for your LO or a cd player to put storys on (we have the disney cd books) do you have a smaller room he could sleep in (change rooms)?
My daughter is 6 now btw and still does not play on ehr own in her room, its not a problem though as i can see what shes getting up to when she is in the lounge
Also try posting this in toddler as you ill get more replies (older children is a bit quiet!)
