[QUOTE="sjexpress, post: 513527"] My difficult child definitly has the same nite time issues. Funny you wrote about it. He will be 12 soon and every nite I have to tuck him in, kiss and hug him. Then he asks me to send in husband so he can say good nite to him ( even though he just kissed him in the livingroom). Then after husband goes in, I have to go back into difficult child bedroom again so he can tell me what time to come back in to check on him. He usually wants me back in 10 min. If I am not there in the specified time, he calls out for me. He generally falls asleep after the 2nd "check in". But just like you, if difficult child wakes at anytime in the middle of the nite for any reason, he calls for me to come into his room. He will not go to the bathroom in the middle of the nite by himself. Also, he is an early riser and if husband or I are not up yet, difficult child won't go into the livingroom or anywhere in the house unless he wakes us and we "set him up" where he wants to go. I know this is all his nervousness from his anxiety. He has always been this way. We used to have to sit with him till he fell asleep till was about 9yrs old so this is a huge improvement and even if it is a bit annoying to have to do this, it just makes the nite run smoothly so in the scheme of everything else we have to deal with because of difficult child issues, this is not so bad!
