[QUOTE="totoro, post: 31712, member: 3155"] I don't recall what issues your difficult child has or if he has been diagnosis'd? But for my difficult child, a good night sleep is a big issue!!! We start the bed process early, bath when I can get her to, we do yoga a lot or some form of calm stretching, headstands work really well for calming, ( against a wall) massage, we will read, then we also spray her room with lavender and pillow, we have sound machine, and our difficult child has a weighted blanket that has really helped calm her and decrease her night terrors... If she is rally amped up I will let her read for a bit in bed... and if she is cycling really bad and manic I will give her a video game her leapster and let her play that in bed. I avoid a fight and she usually wears herself out after 15-30 minutes... this doesn't work for all kids and mine doesn't ask for these things unless she really needs them. Most of the time we can wear her out enough to be tired at bed time. Good luck [/QUOTE]
