he goes through phases of not being able to sleep and has got some SN issues still undiagnosed along the lines of anxiety, control issues etc.
we've been trying to get him to sleep since 8 and tried the tactic of taking a toy away for 24 hrs if he didnt get back in bed, this previously worked very well. 4 toys in it had no effect so we did the thing where you just lead him back in without saying anything. Then he started shouting stupid at us. Which I cant even work out where he knows that word as I know we have certainly never used it to him and I sincerely hope no one else ever has we told him it was a hurtful word to say to us and if he said it again he'd go in TO. So he did. TO for 3 mins, back in bed, now he shouted "you're stupid" at us again and is back in TO. We are getting nowhere. What do we do.
