My oldest ever since she was a baby i have to "massage" her to sleep. She'll lay on the floor, couch, or bed, and i have to sit next her and "massage" her arms, legs, hands, and feet before she sleeps. My boys have no problems falling a sleep. I used to do that to her when she was an infant and had colic. If she's laying on the floor sleeping or on the couch sleeping i'll move her into her bed, but, she's 6 yrs old and i don't know weather i should keep it up or tell her that she has to go to bed by herself?? She has a problem going to sleep on her own, cause for some weird reason she had a nightmare the one night that she was going to get "eaten" by sharks. Ever since then I have to "massage" her. Her preschool teacher told me that she used to do it when she was in preschool. I know this may sound like a "dumb" question, but, don't know weather it's "normal" or not. Thanks for all of your input.
