I am going crazy. My 4 yr old who has always been a really good settler has become a nightmare. After the usual routine of bath & stories he is allowed to stay in his room with his light on & read his book by himself. He then is supposed to turn his light out at 8pm. Then the fun begins & I get every excuse - I'm hungry, I need a poo (& he always does!), & he's up & down the stairs for 1 - 1 1/2 hours every night, with various excuses. I lock his door & he goes mad, pulling it so hard it sounds like it's going to come off its hinges. I got so wound up the other night that I smacked him which if I'm honest I did because I lost control, I was so wound up & exhausted.
Have other people gone through this??
