[QUOTE="katya02, post: 205581, member: 2884"] I agree that a multi-pronged approach will probably help everyone most. There are times when a kid's anxiety is so high that he really needs company. A sleeping bag on the floor isn't out of line in these circumstances, I don't think. (For example, when easy child 1 had his first psychotic episode he was so fearful of the furniture in his room that he had to sleep on an air mattress in our room. His situation was acute and we didn't plan for him to sleep there permanently, but for that period of time he needed to be with us. Once his symptoms were under control he moved back to his own room.) At the same time, addressing the anxiety and/or other symptoms via the psychiatrist, therapist, bedtime routines and relaxation techniques is a good idea, looking toward the goal of your difficult child sleeping comfortably in his own room. And your friend doesn't need to know about any of it, at any point! ;) [/QUOTE]
