PLEASE HELP! my 4 yr old has always gone to bed with the nightlight on and a story read to her since 18months. In the last 8 days she has been throwing the most almighty tantrums. I've been returning her to bed without making eye contact or talking to her- as advised by many tv programs. This led to her biting , kicking , punching and trying to strangle me.as soon as i walk away from her bedside she's back up. In the day she is an angel at night, a devil. I have tried asking her what is wrong and why she behaves sooooo badly at night. she screams "don't leave me, don't go out."
I have NEVER left her in the house alone and explained to her that i never would. I really am at my wits end. nothing works. please help
