[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like stress. Plus now it’s become routine. This is how she gets her stress out. Is she exercising every day? I know it is hard with fewer activities but make a list of exercises she can choose from and she has to do one a day (bike, walk, run, exercise tape, whatever works for you). At bedtime, you set the routine. Try ending the routine with her lieing in bed in the dark and you or your husband are in there for a quiet conversation. It’s a good way to have conversation time, and it is also a good way to let your daughter relax and let herself feel tired. The other option is reading a book, but it sounds like what she wants is your attention (if she is bouncing on your bed) Then you firmly set the rule that she has to stay in her room. Good luck to you! Kids that do not sleep are hard. You need to up your parenting right at the point you are completely exhausted. [/quote]
