She is 7.5. Always been sensitive and anxious but this had improved. Anyway she watched dr who a while ago and it freaked her out so much she had a period of nightmares/intense anxiety. This stopped for a while.
She has just had a massive anxiety attack as she saw a dr who dvd in the video shop (she went to cinema with dh then to dvd shop). Has settled now - I gave rescue remedy, lots of reassruing words, cat on bed, nice jolly story cd.
But she will inevitably wake int eh night and want to come into bed with me. I cannot sleep with her in the bed with us (she fidgets) and dh HATES it and flatly refuses - which means I sit up with her in her bed until she has gone back to sleep, so consequently feel like a zombie.
any advice at all?
