5yr.old son rocking in sleep; asthma,allergies; ADHD,sleep prob?????


Posted by dad mom on March 16, 2000 at 21:22:05:

Help! Our 5-1/2 yr. old son has behavorial problems and developmental delays. He has asthma and common allergies (cats, mold, dust, etc), he has a chronic stuffy nose. He also rocks on his hands and knees and head throughout the night. We're trying to determine if he has a sleeping problem or if it ADHD or allergies... Should we have him evaluated by a pediatric sleep center? (He has been through other neurological testing for his behavioral problems; however, he did not fall asleep for the test). I will also get a hold of the suggested book by Dr. Ferber and read chapt. 13. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
