Dd2 has been really struggling to get to sleep in recent weeks. Last night she was still awake at 1am. I can think of a couple of things which are on her mind but she doesn't think she is actively worrying about them. These include the loss of the most special friendship she has ever had (which lasted from age 2 to age 9) and the 11+ exam she is doing later this year (I wd be happy for her not to do it but her sibling already at grammar school and she capable of going there and desperate to join big sister so the thought of not doing the test makes her even more upset). Have a gp appointment for next week. Have tried laying beside her as she goes off but she can't sleep with anyone else in the room. Have tried a mindfulness app tune thing but it said 'brought to you by audible' v loudly at the end and ruined it all!! Any other ideas or suggestions- anything at all. We are so so desperate. Thank you
