[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 97117, member: 1233"] i am so sorry. This is a tough issue. My daughter was a night waker, but she mostly just wanted us. She slept with us for years, for a variety of reasons, but this did factor into the equation. Can you put an alarm on doors to areas that are unsafe for him? We used a door alarm when my oldest was sneaking into my daughter's room to torture her. He was very violent and dangerous and it was a very short term solution so that we had some measure of safety for her. She also wore an alarm around her neck. Do a search for spy shops, infrared motion detectors, things like that. I would alarm doors to the kitchen, keep all the makeup up, door to the pool for sure (he may find the key or take it one day). I know I bought a package of alarms on ebay for aroun $15 shipped, but this was a few years ago. Can you set up some things he CAN do at night? Safe and acceptable things? Melatonin is also a big help for sleep and many many docs recommend it - we have had 4 psychiatrists, 3 pediatricians, 1 developmental pediatrican, and 2 pediatrician neurologist and a pediatrician cardiologist all recommend it for various children of ours. Not to mention how many of OUR docs have suggested it. It is good that you took him home, the consistency and follow through will be a support in the long run. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
