[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 205325, member: 2423"] I think you should listen less to your friend and more to your mommy gut. My younger daughter M slept with husband and me until well after her third birthday. We trained our older two to sleep in their own beds, but why weren't we tougher with our third? It turns out she has severe anxiety, and she needed the comfort of Mom and Dad at night. I still lie down with her at bedtime to help her fall asleep. She will give up this nightly ritual once she feels less anxious and more secure. I think the idea of a sleeping bag near your bed that your son can come to at night is a great solution for everyone getting a good night's sleep. But I also have to ask: How are you addressing your son's anxiety? Is he in therapy? Are you considering new medications? I think you need to think of the long-term solution in how you are going to help him cope with his anxiety. [/QUOTE]
