[quote=Anonymous]I think you may want to post this over in special needs. It sounds like you have other kids who can go to bed just fine so it is not your basic parenting skills. First I'd talk to your pediatrician about the behavior to rule out anything medical. Do you not want to give him melatonin? What does the dr. say about melatonin use? Destroying the room would be unacceptable in my house. I would take everything out of his room so he couldn't be destructive. Does he even need a pillow? He could sleep with just one blanket with the mattress on the floor-- or even warm pajamas. I would completely "pre-school proof" his room. If there is nothing in there he can't make tents, play games, etc. Once he begins to sleep through the night, he can start getting his stuff back. Sounds extreme, but, he is entrenched in a routine--just not the right routine. [/quote]
