Per difficult child's therapist suggestion, difficult child got his first dose of melatonin last night (double checked with pediatician of course).
His sleep pattern was not good at all. Couldn't fall asleep and then would wake several times, move to the couch, go back in bed, etc.
Within 20 minutes, that little boy was soooo ready for bed! H never woke up and stayed in his bed the whole night!
He used to be a pretty heavy sleeper but for the past 6 weeks (?), it has all changed... He was actually happy to take his new "medecine" and reminded to pack it for his overnight trip with husband!
Any idea what a change in sleep pattern could mean??
I'm hoping his behavior will improve with more sleep. This last 2 weeks have been tough.
