[QUOTE="Andy, post: 154615, member: 5096"] You say it is easier for him when everyone settles down when he does? How about using that time for your quiet time? Turn down the lights, put the home to bed. If he is a deep sleeper, you can go about your work after he falls asleep? Maybe he finds any noise distracting and doesn't want to miss out on any action. Some people need complete silence to settle down. Close his door all the way before you turn on anymore lights. You can reopen it when you are ready for bed. You can spend your quiet time reading, folding clothes, writing checks to pay bills, journalling difficult child's day, planning a week's of meals, ect. in your room so difficult child feels the house is quiet and he can settle down in the calm. If he is a light sleeper, this may not work. [/QUOTE]
