My son was sick at the beginning of Jan in his bed and then saw what he said was a scary advert on TV a couple of days later to do with burglary. Whether or not the two are connected I don'T know, but he is now scared of sleeping in his own room. He tries every trick in the book to get into my bed and I've tried everything I can think of to get him back into his bed: reward charts, promises of sleepovers, etc. We have talked through the TV ad which I haven't seen, but he is now worried we're going to be burgled. I've reassured him at length that our house is safe and secure, and that he's totally safe with me. Anything else I can do to get him back into his routine? My sleep is suffering, and I don't think it's doing either of us much good. Thanks!
