Help please if you are familiar with the following: I have an 8 years old boy who has a tendency to be anxious. Not really at school. Whenever there's something that bothers him enough (only a couple of occurence so far), he'll start waking up in the night, finds it nearly impossible to go to bed on his own and will follow us everywhere in the house, as if we could disappear in a puff of smoke. He can't help himself he says... what could I do to help him? we are taking it in turn to go to bed with him until he falls asleep, otherwise he'll be up until 11pm... If you have any advice that would be great. Thank you
