My Daughter is 8 and won't sleep alone

by beggingforhelp74, Jul 28, 2009 02:39AM
Hello, I have an 8 year old daughter who will not sleep in her own bed. She has been sleeping with me since approx she was 4- he father was killed in 06 and I made the mistake of allowing her to sleep with me and now it has affected her in manyh ways. She has tried to stay at a friends house, but I always get a call about 11pm to come and get her. I have tried re-doing her room. Allowed her to pick out the paint and bedding ect. When she has a friend sleep here at home they sleep in my room and I sleep on the couch. i don't know what to do. I know her losing her father plays a big part on this. She tells me she is affaid something will happen to me. I ensure her that mommy is fine and just in the next room. I just need help. Please can anyone offer advice.

Is she an only child??? I am having the same problems with my 8 just turned 9 yr old. Does she have an older or younger sister?? I finally had to tell her I would leave any light on she wanted me to, leave her door open, bought her a  tv for her room with a timer and put an intercom beside her bed and mine. I may have to talk to her a while over the intercom but guess what...she is in her bed now!
