8 year old complaining of loneliness at night


Our 8yo daughter has been sleeping in her own room for about 3 years now. Recently, within the past few months, she has been expressing a deep feeling of loneliness at night, and tonight I caught her crying over it. No amount of stuffed animals or giant pillows seems to help, we've tried nightlights and nighttime TV, we've tried shutting our pets in there with her, and nothing seems to be helping. We don't know why she's started having this issue lately, and frankly I'm at the end of my rope. It's very upsetting to see her so upset, and she's well past the age where she needs to be sleeping in her own space, so we can't just move her back into our room like she wants. Does anyone have any ideas as to what we can do to help her? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2C0tc2A
