[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 181609, member: 805"] Sandy, I'm sorry that I don't remember all the specifics of your difficult child (please do a profile signature for those of us dealing with age induced memory loss!!!!). You do infer that she just has odd by your ending question. I don't think it's unusual for any child (especially a young child) to have bedtime issues if there is not a bedtime pattern or routine. When you have a difficult child who is dealing with any miriad of issues, bedtime routines may be difficult to reinforce. Your daughter's issue appears to be more defiance based on the fact that she cannot sleep and perhaps doesn't want to be left alone. My only advice would be to speak with her diagnosis'ing doctor about the situation and to also stay firm and consistant on the bedtime routine. My difficult child has a bedtime routine on school nights that I have reinforced and worked on since he was in second grade (he is about to enter 7th grade). It definately takes my time in the evenings, but in the long run he is better rested and he and I have had some nice quiet time to talk and read. The reason that I urge you to speak with her diagnosis'ing doctor is that there may be some other health issues that are causing your daughter to be so wakefull. Sharon [/QUOTE]
