My 4yo has had issues. we have had more specialist then time to see them, we have had sleep problems ALL his life from just not sleeping to severe night terrors, we have had emotional damage caused by a bad nursery and behaviour problems (NOT surprisingly).
In the day it comes out as temper and lashing out. This it dealable with. What is a problem is the inability to sleep, when feeling insecure, without full body contact - either co-sleeping body-to-body or physically lying on top of me.
Love the boy to bits but need to know if there is anything to settle him and help him express or start to acknowledge what is going on and dissassociate the link with sleeping? maybe optomistic but need to help him feel happier and more settled as it is creating a day-night behaviour cycle due to tiredness.
