nearly 5 and has always needed someone to sit whilst he nods off and sometimes wakes in the night but will go back to sleep.
All of a sudden he seem petrifed at going to the toilet or upstairs on his own. Last night he woke and was almost shaking as he wanted me to say with him whilst he slept. HE didnt drop off for an hour
He is genuinely scared so it doesnt seems right for me to be hard on him.
Ive had a little talk with him today and explained that Mummy and Daddy are always here and there is nothing scarey in the house, its his house which is full of nice things etc...
Have you experienced this at all? I know it will pass but Im a bit concerned
