going to sleep too late

[garthur]

My son has always been scared of the dark and cant be left alone at night without panicking. He now goes to sleep on the sofa, while Im in the room - Im a single mum - but never gets to sleep til 11. Its a complete habit with him now, but hes always tired. Any ideas? I feel like Ive tried everything

But this book by Doctor Richard Ferber and do what he says! Worked for us.

New edition not out yet by the looks of it - I got mine in a charity shop.

Thanks very much, I'll give it a go x
