[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 186322, member: 2423"] A child can have anxiety without nightmares or bad dreams. If the "Monster House" movie intensified the situation, there's a good chance you're dealing with fears that come alive in the night when the imagination can run wild. If you don't want to be awakened at night, you may just have to clear out some furniture (or a dog or two) to make space for a sleeping bag on the floor for easy child 1. Some kids need the closeness of their parents to feel safe and secure at night. As long as my kids didn't wake me up, I never had a problem with this kind of arrangement. They got sleep and we got sleep, which is the major objective here. And they do outgrow this behavior -- we rarely have a child in our room now. You might also want to ask your pediatrician about Melatonin, a natural substance that can incude sleep, or Benadryl, an allergy medication that is sometimes used to help kids sleep. With kindergarten looming, it is likely to get worse before it gets better. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
