I am looking for some advice for my sister she is pulling her hair out with her 6 year old ds and i dont know what to tell her.
He has never been a very good sleeper but she always assumed he would grow out of it and settle down eventually, going to bed isn't a huge problem although after being tucked in at 7.30pm he tends to 'need the toilet' or 'need a drink' before eventually nodding off. then he wakes at 10pm needing tucked in again, at 2pm he wants into mums bed and at 5.30am the games a boogie and he's up!
my poor sister also has an 18 month old and is 20 weeks pg with #3 and is shattered from spending the night putting him back to bed she is also worried about his school work as he isn't getting enough sleep.
can anyone help?
