Hi there, wondered if anyone can help with issues we are having with our 6yr old atm. She is a very anxious little girl and has always had us sitting on top of stairs til she falls asleep but has gone to bed quickly without fuss. All of a sudden she is frightened of going to bed. We have recently come back from holiday and we allowed her to stay in our bed a couple of nights to get over jetlag, however 2 weeks later we are struggling to get her to sleep in her bed, at first i was a little sceptical and thought she was trying it on, however she does look really scared, I have asked her about it but she ust keeps saying i cant close my eyes u will leave me she is taking 2 hours or more to settle (she is highly spirited and does not give in easy). i have put a light on in her room and have lay with her but she just wont go off, we have given in and took her into our room and she then goes straight off ! im torn in thinking she is having us on or genuinly scared, just need some advice on how to deal with it x
