[QUOTE="joneshockey, post: 368930"] I have been pondering the thought of what is "normal" with my difficult child (B2)... He definately plays hard like other boys his age, but prefers to play by himself... occasionally with B1 and B1's friends but hardly ever with kids his own age. B2 also LOVES seafood.. he started to eat fish and shrimp at age 2! I try to keep him on a bedtime schedule and routine, but he has ALWAYS had extereme difficulty going to sleep & staying alseep. Most days I start his bedtime routine at 7:30 (bath, story, etc.) and he rarely is asleep before 10:00... He also refuses to sleep alone. (Sorry Hearts & Roses - I know how you feel about this and I try [B][U]Exteremely[/U][/B] hard to prevent it) I cant just put him in bed to go to sleep - he [B][U]will not[/U][/B] stay in bed! We start there everynight, but I end up rocking him to sleep each night... Once he is asleep I put him in his own bed, but he gets up several times each night and crawls into bed with us... My husband NEVER hears him, so it is up to me to keep putting him back into his bed... After the 4th or 5th time for the night I end up giving up, out of PURE EXHAUSTION! I end up sleeping the remainder of the night on the couch. I can't remember the last night that I got a full night of uninterupted sleep! Does anyone have any ideas for me to try? [/QUOTE]
