[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 687720, member: 18958"] Hi Roxona What a mess. It makes sense to me your idea to focus on bedtime, as the time the rages seem to occur. Do they share bedrooms? Is there a way that separate sleeping space could be arranged, even temporarily, to see if that helps? Even in the dining room or living room? If they were each in separate rooms it would minimize their focus on the other as a means to manage anxiety. Because I cannot think of another reason to fight at sleep. If they had separate spaces, each could have their own pre-sleep rituals: picture books, quiet reading or music or story time. In the short run it might make it more time-consuming for you but it could ease things in the longer run. Or you and your husband could alternate with one and then the other child either alternating nights or in the same one. Is it possible to provide each child with their own MP3 player? [/QUOTE]
