Hi Nandie,
I've never had this problem with my child, but I have read a few articles on this for other parents. There is a website that talks about this problem. I am giving you a link to this and you can read this over for yourself and try their suggestions.

I hope this helps.

My son is a very emotional child, he takes live very serious and everything is a What if?. He started having nightmares and refuses to go to sleep at night unless I promise to sleep by him and stay there, I have tried getting up after he's fallen asleep, but he always wakes up. He can't remember his dreams, just that he was very scared. I don't allow him to watch scary movies and nothing major has happened which could upset him. Please help?

My son had this problem up to the day we moved him from his sister's room to his own. He was 11. They grow out of it.....just hang on and be supportive.

Hello! It sounds like his confidence needs boosting & he needs to feel secure. Also I've learned with my children that re-enforcing to them that my job is to keep them safe & that I will not let anything hurt them. They see me lock the doors & check everything. Build on the feeling of security in your home. I had to sleep with my kids for a while & get up after they feel asleep , it didn't fix itself overnight. It took time. I also let them know that I checked on them many times during the night. I hope this helps.
Take Care
Jody

He may be going threw feelings n thoughts that u wont be there when he wakes up n that in turn turns into a nightmare also if he attends school sometimes children can be very mean n could be filling his head w negatives.. Just some ideas.. God Bless you and hope these nightmares go away for your son!

My son went thur the same thing. Maybe he saw a scary commerical.They allow such gross things on Tv now.My son too is always with his "what if" .It is a habit that i have had to help him break. He doesn't realize he says it, unless i bring it up.My son is 10 now but for 7 yrs the nightmares were always there.I don't allow scary movies in my house but when he was 3 he went to his grandma house and they were watching chuckie( i wasnt there) and that scared his little mind for years.He is better now.Be patient with him and get him some help.

how about reading the Berenstein Bears book on Dreams before going to sleep at night, stressing that he is in control as the book suggests?

Have you ever thought about scrapbooking. I love the Creative Memories concept and at one time use to be a consultant. You can even start with just the pages without buying an album right away, and BUY ONLY for what pictures you are putting in the album at that time.

Hi.
To me, there's nothing better than cooking together! Here at CWF,
we actually call it "playdate cooking". While the kids play,
the moms throw something together and let it bake or cook.
There's nothing better than getting something accomplished while
hanging out with friends. I couldn;t agree more! If you've
never done it before, my suggestion is to start out with
something simple. Often times (as I mentioned in a previous
e-mail) we make granola together since it takes only a few
minutes to mix ingredients and then it bakes while you hang out.
We often throw together some banana bread too. If you're looking
to get some dinner accomplished, we often will make huge batches
of tomato sauce since it doesn't take long to prepare and then it
simmers on the stove while you continue to talk, and the kids
play. There's nothing as yummy as the smell of garlic and basil
simmering on the stove while you and your friends spend time
together. And then you all leave with a few quarts of sauce!
Dinner for the night. I started a Yahoo group specifically for
cooking together if you're interested, as well as a website and
e-newsletter. Let me know and good luck.

hi!
i went to a playdate this morning with a friend who also has a 2
year old daughter. while our girls played together nicely (for
the most part) for 2 hours, we started discussing how it would be
nice to "do something" next time we met while the girls played.
although it was nice to just have some adult conversation and
chat, we really felt that it would be nice to chat while doing
"something" at the same time, but we're just not sure what. maybe
knit together? cook something fun? do a 1000 piece puzzle? does
anyone have any ideas of what 2 or 3 moms could do while their

Board games are a fun idea. Maybe scrapbooking. As you said cooking something, maybe creative cupcakes or something of the sort that the kids would enjoy also.

Hi everyone - I am new to this group.
I live on a small family farm in North Carolina. We have a multi-generational household consisting of my husband and me, our grown daughter and her 10 yo daughter. I also have other family members living next door or just across a pasture. My MIL 71 yo, my Father 83 yo, my Uncle 81 yo, my DIL 26 yo (son is deployed to conflict overseas.
I have been a freelance writer since the days of when the typewriters and snail-mail ruled. I keep a blog at: http://doriswanderings.wordpress. com

Come sit a spell and visit.
