SPD Support Forum

I have a 2 1/2 year-old daughter who has never been able to tell the difference between a small issue and a horrible injury. Every night at bedtime she screams for up to an hour, blood curdling screams we worry the neighbors will hear. Now she is talking she has taken to pleading and saying “NO DADDY NO, I’M SCARED!” It is heart wrenching and I go to sleep every night hating myself. She has never been able to fall asleep with us in the room comforting her, and she can’t sleep with us because I have to get up early in the morning. We are currently waiting to get her into occupational therapy, and further evaluations. My wife and I are both incredibly stressed by the situation, and we don’t know what to do.

Any suggestions for the night time dilemma are desperately needed.

Thanks so much,
