I am in th process of trying to adopt my fson and was told to not let him sleep in my room anymore. He only slept in my room about 4 times and he was with me when he was 5,6, and 7. Every time he came in he was either on top of the blankets or I was - so we were never able to actually touch each other. I was worried about "getting in trouble" for doing it - but I agree - when he comes in crying what am I suppose to do? Now I either just talk to him and send him back or I'll take him back in and sit with him for a few minutes...
Funny thing is - when we go on vacation to family, hotel, or camping the SW said it was okay to share a bed... Haven't figure out what the difference is. But in any case I make sure he's either in a sleeping bag on the bed, on the floor, or one of us is in the blankets and one of us on top of them.
It's sad because I think that normal kids crawl into bed with their parents when they're scared or even on Sunday morning to watch cartoons in bed - and here we are trying to give these kids a "normal" life - but because of what some other creeps have done and do to kids we can't...
