[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She stopped scream-crying every night around age 3.5 or so but is now almost 7 and still wakes in the night and calls for us or comes to our room to get us about 1x per week. It’s a lot easier now bc she isn’t screaming and crying like she used to be when younger but she still wants us to come “fix her blanket” or wants a hug and for us to sit w her for a few mins. Then every few months or so she’ll have a night where she wakes and wants us to come to her room multiple times. Just had a night like that last week. It was the night before they went back to school after winter break and I think she was nervous about school starting back which led her to wake up and want a parent to stay w her 5-6x in one night. She’s in first grade.

Oh and we didn’t intentionally not sleep train her. We tried. Oh how we tried. It just never worked. We tried every sleep training method there is and we tried repeatedly—probably every few months from the time she was 4 months old. It never worked. None of the methods made any difference. We even went to a sleep consultant/specialist. We have other kids who we either successfully sleep trained (child #3) or else never had to sleep train bc they always slept well (child #1). [/quote]

Thanks for answering. Did there turn out to be anything…wrong with her? Emotionally, physically, mentally? Autism, SPD, etc?[/quote]

She is neurotypical and a great kid. Smart, funny, creative, very sweet and kind, has lots of friends, does very well in school, is a great dancer and very coordinated and strong physically, very healthy. She is on the sensitive side and is a bit shy. Otherwise totally normal easy kid now at age 7. She is a lot easier behaviorally than her older brother who is my great sleeper since he was born kid!
