[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 37010, member: 393"] kt for, 3 or 4 years, slept on our couch in the living room. It took time & practice to get her sleeping in her room on a nightly basis. Our transition to bed takes a long time - kt is up in her room by 7:30 on school nights & her television goes off by 8:45. I know that many have issues with tv's in a kids room, but it's the one thing that keeps kt in her bedroom. Many nights I sit in a rocking chair just rocking & reading my own book, while she settles by playing or watching television. Once tv is off I sit & rub her back until asleep. Getting kt to her room & asleep has taken us a good 4 years. We decided that it wasn't worth the nightly battle to "insist" that kt sleep in her bed, put on pj's (many times she sleeps in her clothes) or brush her teeth before bed. If every night is a battle nobody sleeps well. Zyrexa (kt is on the same dose) can be calming - does he take it before bedtime? Does a shower or bath help with calming; a cup of herbal tea with a snack? Just thinking out loud for you here. I know this battle - know how tired you are. I hope you can find difficult child a calm routine each night. [/QUOTE]
