My 2 1/2 has never had a problem getting into bed. He seems content every night and even sleeps in a real big boy bed without issues. However, the last few nights I can't even leave his room. Last night I had to lay in bed with him for hours. At first he wouldn't let my hand go and whenever I moved he jumped up thinking I was leaving and screamed as if he were terrified! He just layed there staring at me holding on to me really tight. Finally after two hours I decided I'd just get up be sure he was cozy and tell him everything is fine. I did that, walked out of his room and he screamed for about 30seconds. Then he was quiet and eventially went to sleep. However, this morning he woke up screaming at 6:30a when he will usually sleep until 8:30 or 9:00. I ran into his room and he was pulling off his diaper. I tried putting a pull-up on him and he screamed and kicked refusing. Im wondering if this is all from a bad dream, if it is because of potty training or if it is a seperation anxiety issue. I need to know how to handle it.
