Anxious and Neurotic Children: What is wrong? What to do?
|
|
Zalik Alexander, MD
A 6-year-old cute boy who was invited to a birthday party after an hour is still standing in the corner and holding his mother's hand. The mother is trying to convince the boy to go and play with kids who he knows well. But the boy is staring into the floor and repeating one sentence: "Let's go home. I do not like this. Too much noise."

Ask Dr. Sleep: Surgery, Pain and Sleep
|
|
Q. Dear Dr. Sleep
I had many surgeries and assure you that sleep problems before surgery and sleep after surgery is a very serious problem, yet when I talk to surgeons they brush off this subject or prescribe sleeping pills in addition to already multiple pain relievers, made me all day sleepy, confused and getting more addicted to sedatives. What do you know about the topic and what are your suggestions?

Ask Dr. Sleep: Autistic Behaviors? (Update)
|
|
Dear Dr Sleep,
First of all, a happy and healthy New Year to you, your team and family!
Thank you for your help to solve my child's sleep problems.
I want to give you an update on Adam and ask for any referrals. His sleep is now tolerable as he will go a week sleeping through the night and then maybe four to five days up for a few hours in the middle of the night. Right now, that is not my biggest concern.

Ask Dr. Sleep: Could 6-year-old child be a criminal by the nature?
|
|
Dear Dr. Sleep.
I am scared of my own 6-year-old boy. He wakes up in a middle of the night, might come to my mother or to me and hit with any object. I am waking up many times listening if he is around. I have to put a lock in my bedroom. Our family is a family of professionals. We never had anyone in our family who is violent. We are originally from the South of the former Soviet Union, emotional and loud at home, but in general emotional atmosphere at home is friendly. According to our tradition our parents live with us.

Ask Dr. Sleep - Janurary 2008
|
|
Hello Dr. Sleep,
My boyfriend has an eleven-year-old daughter who is bright, intelligent, and very mature for her age as far as her comprehension and understanding of situations. At bedtime, however, her entire personality changes and she refuses to go to sleep alone. When she is at her mother's house, her mother sleeps with her each night so as not to deal with the problem. My boyfriend, however, is not comfortable with doing that nor does he think it should be necessary at her age. She cries and says cruel things to her dad and insists on going home to mommy's at bedtime. Apparently this has been an ongoing problem in the family for seven years (since the separation) and a counselor told the mom not to co-sleep with the child but she continues to do so.
