Question about 6 year old?

Question

I have never had a problem with my son sleeping, he is 6 years old. He has his own room and goes to bed on his own everynight lately for abour the last two weeks when I got to get him up in the morning he is not in his bed he is in with his sister sleeping in her bed with her she is 3 1/2. I ask him why he is in his sister's room and he says because they want to be. Does anyone know what this can be? I was thinking maybe something is scaring him but I don't want to ask him that and put it in his brain. What do you guys think it is and what can I do?

Answer 1

It might be as simple as waking up and feeling a little cold.  My sister used to climb in bed with me most early mornings because she was cold.  

Answer 2

ask him, its better for him to come out with and talk about what is scaring him than to ignore it and let it fester..  

Answer 3

He might just feel safer with his sister. I was the same way when I was that age. We just had a bond that when we slept together we both slept better. Also my niece is 7 and does it with her 4 year old brother.  

Answer 4

We have the exact age children. I wonder maybe this has more to do with your daughter? I find that my 3 1/2 yr old daughter is way more clingy to her brother then vice versa. She cried the morning he went to school. She is bored without him. Just a thought - maybe she has told him she's scared at night....i wouldn't put that past my own.

Or

I agree ask him why? Ask him if he's scared -- it's best to get it out and discuss it. In our house we always try to voice out the frustrations we have - better to do that then keep it bottled up.
