Sleep over trouble

Thu, 07-03-2003 - 11:00am
My DS, age 11, has a terrible time sleeping away from home. In fact, out of the maybe 20 times he has been invited to sleepovers, he has managed to make it the whole night a total of five times. I feel so sorry for him, because he really really wants to do it, but around midnight or 1am, it is too much for him and he calls for me to come and get him. He says he misses me too much and just wants to be home. For several months I told him he could stay late, but not sleep over, and that was fine with him then. But lately he has wanted to give it another try. Be he still can't seem to do it. He has no problem going to bed at home, being away from me when I travel, etc. Any thoughts? Advice? I know it isn't a big deal, but I do feel bad for him. Thanks
