[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 393764"] Ugh!! I don't really know what to say. It's hard to you to function and have patience with her if you are exhausted. And as for her saying that the her father would sit with her and help her? Well, he did it because she was only there for one night. Let him deal with it night after night after night and we'll see how willing he is to sit there and talk her down until she goes to sleep. How about a sleep machine? I got one for difficult child (therapist's suggestion) and it helps him (when he chooses to put in on, that is!). He can pick which sound he likes and he can set the timer so it shuts off by itself after he falls asleep. I got it at Bed Bath and Beyond and it wasn't too expensive. It even has a clock and an alarm. That's the only suggestion that I have. Maybe if she has something else to concentrate on she'll be able to relax and fall asleep. You're right that she needs to get herself a normal bed time routine and she needs to get more sleep that is getting. How is she when the tutors are working with her, or during the day? Does she nap? If so, try not to let her nap. Maybe then she will be more tired at night. Pam [/QUOTE]
