[quote=Anonymous]HELP. My 4.5 year old DD is a freak of nature and it's killing us. She has not napped since just before 3. We were on a 745pm- 7am sleep schedule the past year but suddenly the last few months we have slipped and it's now 1030/11pm to 7am. We have a set schedule every night - dinner, teeth, bath, PJ's then books but she now insists that I stay with her in the room until she is asleep. Fine except that is now taking 3 hours plus and if I leave the room she bursts into tears that "she misses me". She is an only child and in daycare all day (no naps but 2 hrs of quiet time). We literally run her outside after school till dinner time with the neighbors - and they do PE, and go outside twice at daycare). What can I do? I am desperate as she has lost all self soothing sleep skills. She was sleep trained at 6 months and used to go down no problem 7-7.
White noise is on/dark room and I have literally put her to bed every night since covid - we have a set routine with my husband doing bath and then we switch off for bedtime. What can I do? I ask her and she says "she's not tired".
