This Morning was a very difficult morning for my son. He did not get much sleep last night even on the sleeping meds. It has been increasingly difficult to get him to sleep.He was punching things and throwing things and kicking his book bag and crying a lot for no reason at all. How do I deal with it. I keep as calm as possible and talk to him in a gentle voice I ask him to sit down in a small area where he can cool down and sooth him as much as possible. If that doesn't seem to work I hold him on my lap and rub his back. He usually hides his face in my stomach until he is ready and feels comfortable enough to get up. But on another note I know he will be in a much better mood when he gets home because its Occupational therapy day. He really enjoys his time with his therapist and she is great. In fact all of the staff at the Rehabilitation clinic that he attends is wonderful.
