My 8year old DD cannot get to sleep in the evenings after she stopped sucking her thumb about 8 months ago. She used to fall asleep within a minute or two of going to bed at around 7.30pm but since she stopped sucking her thumb she cannot get to sleep until 9.30, sometimes she is still awake at almost 11pm! For the first few months we didn't make a big deal of it as we thought she'd adjust and we've since tried relaxing CDs in her room, massage, etc. She is very tired and irritable all the time as she still wakes at 7am or earlier. Has anyone got any ideas/tips please?
