My 8 yo son for the past week is suffering from major sleep anxiety. He will not settle!
We have been isolating for the past two weeks so our usual routine has been non existent. Lots of screen time, Tv etc. Pretty much what most families are dealing with right now. He's in bed around 9.30 watching a film I will check up on him various times then tell him tv will have to go off. When I come to bed he will be sobbing, fidgeting and sounding genuinely distressed. I eventually got in bed with him last night he drifted off around 1.30am. He has never had problems sleeping before this.My partner was shouting at him last night :(
I'm going to get him out the house today to try and tire him out!
Is anybody experiencing anything similar? I'm upset he's so unsettled and I'm thinking he has anxiety at the moment!
