[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 506068, member: 1233"] I completely understand your frustration and how hard this is. It was very hard to get Wiz to sleep. What documentation of prior attempts do you have? I don't know if I have suggested this, but do you have a Parent Report? It is one of the most powerful tools we Warrior Moms have.v It is a report that has every detail about your child in one document that YOU create. Some of the moms here created the outline years ago. The thread with the outline and the explanation can be found via the link in my signature. HOW does a parent report help with difficult child's sleep issues? With a parent report, you can take out the section about his sleep and ALL the things you have tried and say "doctor, we have done this adn this and this and this and this to help this problem. We did this A in this manner, following the directions in Book A/from Dr. B/whatever, for this many days/weeks/years." You then give Dr a copy of the sleep section and any other parts that are relevant, and ask what else might help? The doctor will likely STILL be convinced that if you just did t HIS WAY then your son would go to bed at 7:30, sleep until 6 am, take a 1 hr nap and be the most charming, sweet, perfect child that ever existed. You won't likely convince him unless you actually do what he wants for a limited amt of time, but at the next appointment you can then say: "Dr, we did exactly what you asked and here is a report on how it worked." You include the times each part of his way happened, how difficult child reacted, if he actually went to sleep, what time he got up, etc... This does a couple of things. It shows the doctor that you are willing to do the hard work. it shows that you won't just shoot him down rather than trying, and it lets the doctor move past this to figure out what is really going on. Annoying and stupid as it is, the hoop has to be jumped through because many docs think that they have the magic secret that gives you a new outcome for doing the same old thing over and over. I am so sorry it is this rough. [/QUOTE]
