Hi, my adopted son has been with us just 3 weeks. His foster mum had him in a good bedtime routine which we have tried very hard to stick to. However he clings to me, almost to the point of strangling me when I try to put him in the cot and will scream when I try to leave the room. I totally understand why, but at the moment I'm sitting quietly in the room till he falls asleep trying not to interact to much till he falls asleep. Does anyone have any tips on how we can reassure him,? He is 19 months. Thanks x
