[QUOTE="Andy, post: 334249, member: 5096"] Marge addressed nightmares in your Opposition Defiant Disorder thread. One other thing to watch for: When Diva was about 5 or 6, she started coming into our room and wanting to sleep with us every night. We did the cot on the floor. I could tell she was upset about something but she was unable to tell us what was bothering her. A few weeks later, she was able to face her fears and tell us. She had seen coverage on the news about a young girl who was abducted out of her bedroom and was missing. She was afraid that would happen to her. I was not even aware that she had heard this news story. I was very careful about not allowing this kind of news to be heard by her. I don't feel this is going on with your son since it seems to be an actual sleep issue. I thought I would mention it in case anyone reading this looking for possible answers does have an older child who without nightmares seems to be struggling with something. There is so much more coverage regarding missing children and then the earthquakes/other natural destructions and pictures. Kids don't have a concept of miles. A kid who does not live in an earthquake area can still be terrified for themselves in watching the Haiti news. [/QUOTE]
