Posted by Want 2 Understand on May 13, 2008 at 09:41:14:My 8 year old daughter is afraid to go to sleep in her own bed and room. She is quite adament in telling us what she wants to do, which is sleep with us in our bed. She says that she is scared and uncomfortable and does not know why. The only thing that has changed is that she was sick and vomited. A few days later she stopped vomiting but now she refuses and cries about not wanting to sleep in her room. She has been to the Doctors who told her that she is fine and does not have any flu bug. We are unsure what to do, we have let her sleep in our bed, then take her to her own room, but she wakes up and starts crying and not wanting to go. Once she falls asleep she sleeps through the night, its getting her to sleep that is a problem/issue. Anyone with suggestions.
