I am a seasoned mum of 3 at the end of my tether with middle DD (5) who wakes us up almost every night, crashing into our room and getting into our bed. She has never been a brilliant sleeper and has doesn?t actually seem to need much sleep. She is IMHO very bright, but very insecure (can?t work out quite why, but she is) and very manipulative. She demands a lot of attention, and generally gets it. This usually happens on the days I work ( I work 3 mornings per week) as she says she needs a cuddle because she won?t see me during the day (great emotional blackmail). She uses many other excuses ? the whole range. We have tried everything; bribery; reasoning; taking away treats and pocket money; keeping her warm; new duvets; warm pyjamas; lavender oil; returning her to her bed without speaking (last night that resulted in us being woken 3 times!). She is generally an angelic child (albeit very high maintenance for me!) but sleep deprivation is pushing me to the limit. Have run out of ideas and can?t find anything in books. Please, please help?. PS other two (DD7, DS3 perfect sleepers and have been brought up in same way? )
