School Child
As a baby Oliver had always had one of his parents in his bed with him as he fell asleep at bedtime, but over the last two years Jo had managed to encourage Oliver to stay in his bed by himself. However bedtimes were a trigger point for battles and stress as Oliver would refuse to go to bed and repeatedly reappear downstairs with a whole range of excuses; “I’m hungry, I need a wee, I have a headache....” Eventually Oliver would fall asleep when his parents came to bed, 10.30pm! Every day Jo had to literally drag Oliver out of bed to get him to school, and he spent the first few hours tired and grumpy.
