It's getting worse, last night she came in at midnight and we couldn't get her back into her bed as she'd go hysterical and of course that would weak ds (nearly 2) who only just started sort of sleeping through.
She tells us she's scared, but when asked what off she replies 'don't know'. We're guessing some of it is real due to e.g. bad dreams, sudden noise etc. but part of it is put on...
Saturday night she stayed in her bed all night because we told her if she does then we go swimming Sunday. Guess what... she stayed in bed, came out first thing in the morning telling us that she did and 'demanding' with big grin that we go swimming NOW.
So how do we deal with this? Can't bribe her with swimming every night ...
