My daughter was never a great sleeper but has been great over the last 1yr. Over the past few weeks she become scared of something happening to all of us (Me, her brother, Dad, and the dog we look after every now and then). She's saying there's someone in the house. Today she said she thinks there's someone in her room during the day ( never a problem before). Tonight she was inconsolable. She asked to come into our bed and even then kept crying. We went through this with our eldest and put it down to house move and new baby. I remember having a spell of this myself at a bit younger than her but not this terrified. She now wants everyone upstairs so that she knows we're safe. Has anyone been able to ease the fears ? Is it some sort of separation anxiety? She was crying so much tonight she startd to feel sick and got a headache.
