[QUOTE="Andy, post: 148793, member: 5096"] I understand the safety concerns. I have a cousin who walked in his sleep and a few stories have put me on alarm. My difficult child (Gift From God) is a very deep sleeper. For some reason, I have the feeling that he may become a sleep walker. So, I encouraged him to come into our bedroom every time he wakes up. I am a sound sleeper but will sometimes wake up once someone steps into my bed room. I may be wrong, but I thought if I can get him to be in a habit of coming into my room from his room, maybe I can stop a sleep walking incident. Don't know that works though, however, can't count the mornings I woke to him being at the end of the bed and I never heard him get up. Have you tried putting bells on your doors? Loud enough that you will hear it at night if the bedroom door or outside door gets open? Would your difficult child enjoy a bicycle horn at the bedroom and outdoor doors to blow when coming or going? Maybe making a game of being loud when leaving the bedroom or house might help give a warning to you in the middle of the night? Say goodbye to your bedroom by shouting, "Goodbye bedroom, see you later." If your "scary guy" story is keeping him safe for now, I wouldn't worry about it. If your guilt gets too much or he is showing fear that "scary guy" can get in the house as easily as he can get out, just tell him you have heard that "scary guy" moved far far away an will never be back.
