We adopted a 3yr old girl after fostering her from 11mnth old , she spent 8.5 months in hospital hooked up to various drops, she was born with a severe bowel condition , she was rarely visited while in hospital , and has as a result developed a severe dislike of being left in cot , she finds any reason to call us in and when we dont do what she wants she just screams and screams , we have decided to let her scream herself to sleep we just dont know if this is right put we have tried everything, we have tried keeping her up until she tried but this makes it worse , if we pander to her it just delays the inevitable screaming , and we really don't think that letting her get her own way is the answer. , any help would be appreciated
