WOW this is exactly the same thing im going through. my son is four and says i must stay in my lounge, and that he is scared but wont tell me what he is scared of. keeps getting out of his bed. Says he is hungry at 10 pm at night. i put my son to bed before 8pm and struggle.HE makes every excuse under the son not to go to sleep. he never used to be like this and then all of a sudden did. I dont know how to sort this out either so i have booked for my son to see a child psychologist because my son has also become more agressive / angry etc so will see. but i have the exacty problem and know what you are going through

I have gone through the same thing you are going through right now. When my son was 5, he keeps telling me to always be with him at night because he can't sleep when I am not with him...
