Thank you very much Mere Dreamer. I will try some of your suggestions. They are very practical and I am sure he would understand at his age.

My son use to scream like that when he was a very young baby. I was too scared to go up to get him at times, as it didn't sound like a normal baby cry like my daughter. My husband would go up and get him out his cot. He hated being in the cot. He was abused by his past life parents and put in a...

I have not posted here in a while as my son has been generally a content and happy boy. It’s hard to believe that any of the above actually happened until a little glimpse of something comes through every now and again. Steven is now 7 and has not spoken of his past life for a while. But every...

Thank you Thank you for your support and messages. It helps me to know I am not the only person with a little soul going through this. Blueheart it's interesting you say about the heat at night. I never thought of that. I will try keep it cooler. Steven is an incredibly hot little boy...

And then out of nowhere.. It's been ages since I last posted, as it has been very normal in our home. Steven hasn't spoken of his past or mentioned the 'horrible man'. Just before Christmas we decided that Steven can start using our dinner plates, instead of his Mickey plate, which has a...

Background A background to this, is that when Rebecca was very young 1.5 years old we read Snow White to her, but we never read the horrible bits and skipped the witch and poisoning of the apple. Yet she always turned to the page where the wicked witch, was with the apples and ask us about...

My husband has gone away on a business trip and my daughter wanted to sleep next to me. One rare night my son fell asleep in his own bed. As I turned off the light I could feel her body stiffen and snuggle in tighter. I asked what was wrong. She said she didn't want to talk about it. So I said...

Steven hasn't spoken of his past for ages and I have been so busy at work. I have now left my job to spend more time with the children and to finally finish reading Carol's book. I am an incredibly slow reader. I started on page 230 and have also ordered the second book. Well I was on page 248...

Just when you think he doesn't remember anymore...My son had had nightmares last Saturday, but didn't wake up till the morning, then he came through to our room and snuggled in next to me. He started laughing and said the horrible man called the horrible lady Buttons. Then laughed. I felt like...

Thank you for your replies. Sophia gave me this idea and it is really great for Steven as he can't draw yet. Steven seems to have a day when he gets sad by a trigger and then talks. So yesterday the cell phone was the trigger for him remembering the horrible mans anger and today he was eating...

Steven has been doing so well since my last post and just to follow up. After I posted about his skin, I took some advice and before I applied his regular skin creams I told him that I am going to take my kind hands and make Charmagnes skin feel better with the cream. I kept repeating it as I...

Hi Blueheart I think that is sound advice. I will set rules, as this is our home and I will be firmer about the horrible man and women not coming into our home. I am also concerned that Seven thinks that the horrible man can still get to him. I will be firmer in my tone when I say he can't...

I haven't been on this site for a while. Thank you for your lovely posts. Truvyshoes, I am so pleased our posts answered your prayers. Steven was laughing at his sister in the bath tonight and he is so happy. I am so glad he gets to laugh this time round. He was very hurt before. Steven is...

I made some progress with Steven today. Last week we were lying in bed and I told him to stay there as I was going to straighten my hair (which is on the other side of the room). He got really scared and I asked why he was scared to stay in my bed. He said the horrible man wouldn't like it and...

Sofia, nice to see you post again. It was your threads that helped me post and seek help. It was comforting knowing another Mom was experiencing something similar t to me around the same time. It is hard and I was really very nervous when I showed Steven the images on the iPad, and was shocked...

That could be it, as he really speaks in toddler words about his experience. So perhaps he was very young, I get that feeling he was younger than he is now. That is dreadful and that extra strength on such a tiny little body, he didn't stand a chance. It is unimaginable.

Steven wanted to go to his own bed tonight, but hid under the duvet and I thought he had fallen asleep. He then cries and calls for me, so I said I am in the bathroom and to come to me. He comes in all half sleepy and says he is scared. So I asked him what he is scared of and he says that he...

Hi Almyk I can totally sympathise with you. My husband had many couch moments with my son, just to distract him and get some sleep. He still sleeps with us as he just needs that comfort when he wakes up scared. When Steven was very young, before the age of 2 we got a brilliant CD called...

Steven has not had night terrors since I first posted, which is great. He slept o his own for 1 night, but is still hiding under the duvet and says he is scared when we put him to bed, so he still sleeps by us. Carol's book I ordered finally arrived, so I am reading that too now about...

It was the weirdest experience. He is very good on the iPad and navigating around children's puzzles, so he wizzed up and down the Google images searching. But nothing phased him and the images were just horrible. He wasn't frightened by them. I tilted the iPad slightly so my daughter couldn't...
