Jenny if you are still lurking, I'd like your advice. I am now having some problems with my 8-year-old son. He is scared to go to sleep, he grinds his teeth at night, he is defiant and rude, etc. This just started in the last couple of months, since the tension started to ease up around here. Is this post traumatic stress syndrome, and if so, is there any advice you have on how to handle this?
