7 Year Old Won't Sleep, Needs Us To Check On Her

My 7 year old daughter goes to bed ok 7.30pm but she wants us to keep checking on her every 10 mins, she nods off to sleep but wakes thinking we havnt been up to see her and starts crying, she goes to the toilet bout 5 times in an hr and panicks if its been longer than 10min.

She finally nods off when she knows we are in bed. she always comes in our bed in the middle of the night most of the time i dont no shes there till i wake in the morning.

A Note On Visitor-Submitted Questions:

Publishing sleep stories and questions from our visitors is meant to create a forum for open and proactive dialogue about an extremely important portion of our lives (one that occupies 1/3 of it and affects the other 2/3). It is not meant to substitute a trip to the doctor or the advice of a specialist. It's good to talk; it is not good to avoid consulting someone who's profession it is to help you with this kind of stuff.

If you are in any way concerned about your sleep health, don't wait for an answer on here, and don't necessarily rely on them. See a sleep specialist in your area as soon as possible.
