[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Here is the update. We have been doing a kazdin method chart for staying in bed and it has not worked. We have practiced the behavior during the day and he seems to go with it but at night he is out of control.

Yesterday he actually did fall asleep and I could not wake him. He slept for 2 hours and he dropped naps a year ago. I think the nap contributed to the late sleep time last night. My DH and I have this plan.

The number one priority is to address exhaustion so we are just going to stick DS in the car at 7pm to get him to sleep.
This may take a day or two. Then we will go back to the sticker chart and see how things so. I also think DS is scared. He is afraid of the dark and I think he is feeling pretty bad about himself because of him hitting us. Then we can gradually go back to just tucking him in and leaving. Which of course was how things were up until a month ago.

Thank you so much. You have all been helpful, supportive and non judgmental. So refreshing![/quote]
