My ds is a happy go lucky soul usually, but he has been knocked for six by the death of his grandmother 4 weeks ago. He was fine at first, very matter of fact and practical, but since the funeral he has been finding it very hard to sleep and has generally been quite fragile. I'm letting him have a day off today because he didn;t get to sleep til gone midnight and was so tired and floppy when he woke up this morning.
I've two questions. Is there anything i can do apart from what i'm doing? Lots of reassurance and cuddles when he wants, normal routine of exercise and good meals, no tv and quiet time ane warm milk before bed. and story tape and music as ususal to go to sleep with. Any other ideas to help him sleep?
And - a trivial question - if he's been off school is it all right for me to take him to after school rugby?
