Up until recently DD (5)has slept very well:straight through the night. In the last couple of weeks she's started waking up at 3am - coming and waking me up to tell me she's feeling nervous of the dark. (She has a bedside light left ON, and bathroom night on) When she wakes up I take her to the toilet and put her back to bed and she looks at books until she goes back to sleep.
BUT - how to deal with this - I'm SHATTERED!! It usually takes me an hour to get back to sleep. I had thought of not allowing her to go to any after school activities (treats) on the basis of why should she be rewarded for her behaviour when I'm knackered.
All ideas welcome..
