Re: rooming in for sleep/whatever works

[Guest guest]

Members,

We personally let our son sleep in our room also. We desperate for sleep and

one will do whatever to achieve it. What works for one family will not always

work for another. We should never be critical of one another but supportive

in whatever decisions we make for children and ourselves. The problem we seem

to face is that nothing is ever lasting. Once you think that you have

something down pat then it changes and it not longer works anymore. Such as,

our 10 year old autie has now decided that he wants to fall asleep on the

living room floor in front of the TV while it is on a channel playing " easy

listening " music. Our mind set was go to bed for comfort but then realized

that if it will work without him throwing a fit or being restless for a

couple of hours before finally going to sleep, then we need to go with it!
