Hi everyone
I have a 5 year old son who is autistic and a 3 year old daughter who I am sure has ADHD
For the last 4 months we’ve been trying to get them to sleep in their room and my son went through a phase where he was sleeping though the night no problem and my daughter would sleep until 6am maybe even 7am without coming to our room
for the last few weeks it’s been a nightmare, they both wake up several times throughout the night and want me to sleep next to them. I’ve also got a 3 month only baby who breastfeeds throughout the night. Dd is the worst, she screams and screeches until I lay with her. My neighbours must hate us.
it takes over an hour to put them to bed in the first place and everyone gets very riled up, there’s crying, shouting, threats of screen time being taken away.. it’s awful.
how do I get them to stay in their room until they fall asleep and how do I get them to sleep through the night?
im shattered, my anxiety is through the roof and my home is a mess
