Hi, im having an issue with my 7YO DS atm, he goes up to bed by 8pm (sometimes before but always told lights out by 8). but he isnt going to sleep.
Last night it was 12.30 and he was only just dozing off.
He will get back up and turn his light on and read or turn his radio on, or his dvd player, each time we turn them off again.
We have tried taking them away. Sitting with him for hours. Talking nicely, shouting, allowing him more time, sending him to bed without supper.....everything!!!!!!!!
im at a loss as to what to try next. so, what time is "normal" for a 7YO to be going to bed and or going to sleep.
My DD 4, goes up at 7 and sleeps!! (quite the opposite to what she was like as a baby! hahaha)
he hasnt always been like this, as a baby/toddler he was great for going to bed and sleeping, but from the age of about 3 its steadily got worse.
They are in seperate rooms now (since april) but doesnt seem to have changed anything.
HELP please :(
