Hi Rachie,
I think you received great advice from the above posters. I'm also a mom of 2 girls 7 and 11. I remember when the oldest one was afraid to sleep in her room because of nightmares. Is your son just not tired or is he fearful of being in his room? It's also important to have a set routine, and regular hours the same eery night. I would cut out TV watching 1hr. before bedtime because it stimulates the brain. Also like the other posts said make the bedtime routine soothing. You could also try a reward system, if he cooperates with going to bed. Best of luck.
