Posted by phoebe984 on September 06, 2007 at 14:37:56:Due to my own recent hospitalization for 5 days and severe thunderstorms,my 2 girls will no longer sleep in their room which they share. They are afraid at night and refuse to let me out of their sight even for a few minutes. They are currently "sleeping" in a tent in my room with a white noise machine next to them. My 21/2 year old has also started stuttering due to the lack of sleep...any suggestion on how to ease their fears of noises and get them back into their beds and SLEEPING again!?!
