Is it normal that my teenage son sleeps with us nearly every night? He is 15, and goes to sleep in his own room everynight. But at some point he'll come in and sleep with us. He gets anxious about burglars and feels unsafe and lonely in his own room. What's wrong with him? Is there anything we can do about this?
You can't let him do this. I have a cousin that age that did this and, well, it never really got much better until his parents REALLY started getting angry about it.
Get him a night light and keep all of the doors open to his room and yours and if worse comes to worse, get him counseling.
No. This is totally not normal.
n our culture it is acceptable to sleep in the same room with parents. I did until about 16, guys tend to feel awkward after that.
When I first read the title I was thinking of the other kind of sleeping with someone o__O Awks
Well you have done an excellent job at raising that boy, gold star for you.
Kid has some serious anxiety. It's not normal. There may be something bad happening in his life that you don't know about. You should definitely get him counseling.
O.o umm I think this. Because u didn't live out ur childhood or u were neglected as a child so ur living it out as a teen
Yes, i get the occasional scare of bad things before going to bed, but I never run to my parents room. I am too a teenager but that is just weird. You need to talk to him about it.
This situation is not normal at all. How ever i sympathize and do understand.. He has developed a phobia that is taking control of his life. Your not helping the situation by over looking the obvioious... He needs Counceling and both parents need to go with him to give him support so he knows without doubt your standing with him thru this: one exp: If both of you parents were to die tomorrow what would this kid do? He is already dealing with insecure issues and a tragedy like that would devistate him.
Look outside the box
This isn't normal at all. I strongly suggest that you get him a therapist and a nightlight or play him some relaxing music. You shouldn't let this continue any longer.
Aww :( maybe he needs some counselling, it's a shame that he is that anxious, I was the same way for a while but I grew out of it by 10, hopefully things work out for yoo :) x
Lynch him in the front terrace and warn him to not come into your room or hack his Facebook and post pics of your family in bed.
