[QUOTE="klmno, post: 221783, member: 3699"] I wish I caould help- difficult child didn't have issues like this until he wa a bit older. At the younger years, if I thought he'd have trouble sleeping due to anticipation of something happening the next day, I just did the typical things like serving dinner early, early bath and calming down period- allowing extra time for tucking in and reading a book, etc, then made him stay in his bed. If he stayed still 15 mins, he would be out for the night. Now he has sleep issues sometimes but he is older so I might tell him to get in bed, but there's only so much I can do, as you know. One thing I won't do with my son, unless he's physically ill or highly depressed or emotional, is give him any attention that could be perceived as "quality time" if it's during a time period that he is supposed to be doing something else.
