My 5 year old in Year 1 is really suffering. He moved schools in Sept and is not settling down at all, and today I have been summoned in to see the teacher to discuss his behaviour.
At home he can be delightful but at other times throw a 2 year old's tantrum over a toy he can't have.
I can see that he is absolutely shattered. He has been waking up at 6.30 since we moved house, he has always been a fantastic sleeper but we've tried later bed times and he's still waking up at 6.30, he's then waking his brother and myself so we're all totally shatterd.
His previous school said he was disruptive in the classroom and tried to diagnose him with something called "sensory integration disorder", I researched this and it was widely dismissed and seeing as it only affected children I believed it was something he would grow out of.
So really I'm asking; has anyone heard of Sensory Integration Disorder? has anyone tips for getting a 5 year old to sleep beyond 6.30, he currently goes to bed at 8.
Thanks
