Hi everyone,
hoping for some advice. My 4.5 year old has never been the best sleeper. We have a routine which we follow but every night differs from whether it’s a “good” night or not. I am in no doubt that it seems to be she is anxious. We have tried speaking to her for her to explain how she’s feeling but she just can’t articulate and starts saying XYZ is wrong( when in essence I feel she is just making things up). If she goes to sleep on her own it’s a bonus but she goes to bed around 7pm but is waking 3am onwards and doesn’t go back to sleep for the whole day!! I feel like we have tried everything. We tend to stay with her to keep her calm in hope she goes back to sleep because she just goes into self destruct mode and starts tantruming- sometimes this happens even if we are there!! The days are horrific because she is obviously grumpy. The thing that baffles me the most it’s not every single night. It started being perhaps once every couple of weeks but since Christmas it’s started to be more regular. Please help!!
