My five year old does the same thing. Children at that age have very active imaginations and sometimes they get scared to be alone. Does she watch anything scary on the tv? I guess get to the bottom of why she insists on being in the bed with you. I don't think she has a disorder. Sounds like a normal kid to me. Sometimes kids just want to sleep with their parents.
Hi, you don't mention if she is your only child. Has she been acting like this since when? Have there been any major changes ( moving, pet dying etc.)? Some times children act out because they can't deal with situations. You should have her checked. Ask your Dr. Also had you established rules from the start? Some children act our when something is wrong. Hope this helps.
let me know what you think on the note i posted. ruls and boundries are strictly enforced in our house. my sister calls me a drill sargent!

well yes deviant means not following rules
so I had 2 rules for my boys
obey
respect
consistent consequences for breaking those 2 rules... our children want rules, it's your job as a parent to set boundaries......if you want to know what worked for us write me a note..
