My daughter (7) has been chewing her hair so much she gave herself a curtain bang. Has anyone else dealt with this? Just chews on the ends of it but due to bloody stool we have an emergency appointment for today. She’s had anal fissures in the past and I’m wondering if the hair chewing/eating has something to do with the constipation.

Usually my son is very hard to wake in the morning ( takes about a half hour of hard rubbing and talking to him to get him to even open his eyes and sit up) but twice this week he has been up for a while before me, Is it common for sleep issues go from one extreame to the other like this? Any advice for making his and everyone (teachers, classmates, siblings) day without sleep easier?

My 5 year old son often asks me, "Is this a dream?". Do I need to be concerned about this? Is he not understanding reality vs. Fantasy? Could this be a sleep issue? Anyone else have this issue?

I am concerned, though, because she has had a few meltdowns recently that have left me reeling. She becomes extremely negative, insisting that no one likes her and everyone is mean to her, including myself, her father, and her brother.

Answer: When my ds was getting up constantly we bought a sensor you attached to the wall (we put on our tall computer case). Plug in the other part of the sensor in your bedroom and it will wake you up when someone walks in front of that sensor.

So it's been put away, now 9 out of 10 times I sleep on the couch in the living room. ;O)
