[quote=Anonymous]My dd has anxiety and often the more we cater to her worries at night, the more the anxiety grows. For example, she can have great bedtimes for months, she has one night of something that scared her--we check on her and assure her and the next night it's the same and the next it's the same. Not until we stop the going back in or lying with her does she get better at going to bed (and her anxiety in general disappears). I would tell him lovingly and warmly that you know he can fall asleep on his own without you lying there. Give him some "tools" like a night light, a simple meditation, a mantra (I'm calm I'm happy), and tell him you'll see him in the morning. Trust him and he will be More likely to trust himself.[/quote]
