[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 510290, member: 3184"] When I got home last night from picking up easy child, he was not watching TV but was playing on his ds. Pushing boundaries, he said I never told him he could not play the ds................and I did not specify the ds, I mentioned electronics. Argggg. It was lights out time anyways, so I told him that, he shut his game off and I stayed in his room with him. He talked for a bit, asking why he had nightmares. I told him he had not had one in a while, and I told him that they scared him so much that he could not stop thinking about them, and that alone could make them happen. He thought about that one, and that one seemed to hit home with him. He was asleep in half an hour, I snuck out of the room, and as far as I know? He slept all night. The best part? I got to sleep in my bed. I know he is going to ask me if I slept in his room last night, and I am going to have him tell me how he slept first. If I tell him I left after he was asleep? He will tell me he had the worst nightmares, but really? I think he was fine. I think he just needs to realize he can do this, and then? It may actually make him feel better about himself as he dealt with it and got over it. He fixed it for himself, not me. [/QUOTE]
