[QUOTE="witzend, post: 186311, member: 99"] Up until the time I was about 10 - 11 years old I had nightmares. I never had to get in bed with my parents, but I would go to their room and knock on their door and tell them I had a nightmare and was frightened. I remember to this day the very last night it happened. I woke up from a nightmare, went downstairs and went to their door. It was locked. I knocked and my dad said in his voice that meant business, "What?" I told him I had a nightmare. He said "Go back to bed!" I knew he was mad and I was more afraid of his anger than I was of a nightmare. I never went to their room again. I didn't sleep any better, and still don't sleep well. But I never went to their room again. Your son is getting your attention on a one on one basis every night. I don't think you are doing him any favors by interacting with him. I think that either you sit him down and tell him that he's not a baby and you need your sleep so he is going to have to get through the night, and/or you lock your door and tell him to go back to bed next time.
