Hello livelaughlove22, I know how hard bed time can be for a 5 year old. I live with my granddaughter who is 5 and has had a hard time sleeping and she has never been abused. She is getting better but we have bought her new pretty bedding for her bed and glow light pillows and light up animals, night lights etc.... She is just a night owl and I think afraid she will miss something. We finally have got her on a routine where she gets her water to drink and her lighted animal that projects stars on the wall and she has gotten better. I think you really have to reassure them that they are going to be fine and safe. And the sooner she goes to sleep the sooner it will be light again. Is she in counseling? If she is I would ask, maybe they have some better ideas. But I think we tried most all of them. The poor little thing has been through so much with her parents divorce and the sexually abuse, I don't blame her for not wanting to sleep. I do know it is hard regardless. I will keep thinking positive for you.
