My aunt’s three year old child refuses to go to sleep. She’ll scream and cry when she’s told that’s it’s bedtime, even if she may be tired. Her mom has tried lying next to her, singing, punishments, threats, ignoring, reasoning… nothing seems to work.
The girl is adopted, by the way, and there were some rumors of abuse, though they weren’t ever confirmed. She has a habit of sucking on her fingers and biting her nails to the point of blood, but pain doesn’t seem to bother her too much.
Any advice on how to get her to quiet down and get to sleep? Thank you for any comments.
