If it's due to the sensory stuff, our OT suggested a sleeping bag that he used on top of the bed. It makes them feel safer and calms them down because it wraps them up. Sensory kids need the pressure of wrapping up, or massage.

I think it's a great idea! It may help her shut out the world around her and really be able to focus on sleep.
My kids don't have one but my brother did as a child.

She said dd might have a problem shutting her mind down at the end of the day and the tent should help her shut out things better. I guess we'll know more when we see her on Thursday. She does have a sleeping bag she likes that her grandma gave her for Christmas.

We got her the most inexpensive one we could find in case this doesn't work out or she breaks it. We didn't want a lot of money invested in it. So far she really likes it though.

i hope that it works for her. I think too that there are days when most kids will have a hard time "shutting down" for the night and with the sensory issues your dd has, then that sure does explain a lot ;ug:
