[quote=Anonymous]If you wear perfume or some kind of scent, put a little on a stuffed animal so he can smell it to calm his nervous system. He won’t have to actually sniff, because the scent will be there and he will smell it subconsciously. You can try a social story that you write and illustrate yourself, with photos of him in the bedtime process and pretending to be asleep while you peek at him, and photos of you just down the hall in your bed. If he is worried about his personal safety, don’t get into what ifs with him at this age. Just tell him firmly that your house is safe and you will take care of him. And monitor anything he might see on screens. It will take a while. Try running him ragged, so he sleeps more soundly. Try a placebo drink of water with food coloring, just s tiny bit of both, and tell this makes little boys sleep better.[/quote]
