Just that really. Five year old starts off in bed but doesn’t stay there. Which is impacting mine and my husbands sleep. Will take him back to bed but then he wants us to stay with him. The past week of so we’ve had 5am wakes. He goes to sleep about 8. He’s exhausted. So am I.

I had a 5 year old like that. Got her a double bed and took it in turns to either co sleep in our bed or hers. We all got more sleep that way.

she always started the night in her bed. Eventually she stopped coming in.

At 5 he is old enough to play quietly in his room and not disturb anyone else
