I Would Love to Know If Anyone Has Any Experience with Neuro/biofeedback

Has he had any other symptoms?
The reason I ask my son who is almost 5 now, was diagnosed at 2-3 with something called sensory integration disorder. It is a neuro condition and we had to do about 1-2 yrs of occupational therapy. He could not go to bed with out a melt down, bath time or any kind of transitioning to one environment to another was very difficult for him. He is done a TOTAL 360 and so much better. I am not sure if your son has any other symptoms but I know Josh can be very OCD about CERTAIN things as well. Here are 2 good websites if you have any questions http://www.brighttots.com/sensory_integration.html, http://www.sensorynation.com/index.html. Hope this helps

Check out www.northlakechiropractic.com Dr. David Clark is a chiropractic neurologist- and, he is awesome!!

My youngest son was having the same fearful thoughts at night. He was scared to go to sleep because he had a fear of dying. I would just tell him that everything would be o.k. and that god would be with him and take care of him. I had him pray before bed every night. I would also lay with him for awhile. After a few months he forgot about it. I hope every thing works out for you.

S. I don't know about neurofeedback. I have 4 kids 9,5,4,2. Last Feb. my 2 younger boys started doing the same thing. Now I pray with them, over them and over my house each night and the fear leaves. I know that was not your question but I know what you are experiencing.
Take care,

Is it just a fear of going to bed or does he also suffer from frequent nightmares or night terrors? I ask because my husband has suffered from "sleep paralysis" since he was a kid. Basically, some nights he will wake up and not be able to move (thus the paralysis) and his brain will play tricks on him, making him think that there is someone in the room or in the house trying to do us harm. He's suffered from this off and on since he was a child, except he didn't know what it was when he was little (and neither did his parents. They just thought he had nightmares). Growing up, he was always afraid of going to bed and resisted it at all costs. It wasn't until high school/college when my husband did more research that he was able to figure out what was happening to him. He still has "episodes", but now he recognizes them right away and can work his way out of them.

I agree with the other posts about prayer before bedtime or some other bedtime routine (something that will help calm him, like reading books).
