Re: Sleep Issues
Quote From: beauty22I'm at my witts end with my eight year old! I just have sooo much trouble getting him out of bed for school in the morning.It's just a huge fight,, every morning! ive tried getting him to bed earlier,and thats even harder to do. anyone with any advice?? please help..  
thank-you..frustrated in nanaimo bc  What time is he going to bed? What time are you going to bed? Either there may be a reason he doesn't want to go to school (being picked on is usually the reason or being made fun of.) Or he has figured out just when you are asleep and knows when to get back up & turn on the TV until late hours of the night. Maybe he is listening to music with a head set or reading with a flashlight. What ever it is-he's certainly not going to tell you if you ask. You'll have to catch him at it. If it's a problem at school-when he talks to you or any one else-you'll have to read between the lines and try to pick up on little hints that he says without realizing what he's doing. He's at the right age for this problem. I have 3 grown kids & 6 grandkids & almost all of them have been through this. Remember-if you start asking questions-they won't tell and if they think you're being pushy-they will clam-up and you'll never find out!
