Always had problems with dd (defiance etc)but
currently beginning to lose the plot because she won't go to bed/sleep without lots of disturbance - including last night keeping her younger brother awake.
She goes to her room after a story and is allowed her own quiet time - but doesn't seem happy to unwind on her own. She won't leave us alone, she is forever coming downstairs or make loads of noise so that we go up to her.
She is often very tired (she is very physical) but doesn't seem to be able to switch off/unwind etc.
We have tried all sorts of approaches, (rewards shouting etc) but nothing really works.
Anyone any ideas..?
