Hi i have two boys aged 2 and 4.5 years. We moved interstate 2 months ago and ever since then every single night my 4.5 year old is so unsettled. He slept great before never had issues in the past. But now i have to sit in his room until he falls asleep and if i try to sneak out he screams saying hes scared but wont tell me exactly why. Then once hes asleep he will come into our room early hours of the night crying refusing to go back to bed. Now its got even worse that he wont sleep in his room at all. We tried to swap bedrooms, made a sticker chart, put a tv in his room to watch a cartoon before he goes to sleep, nightlights, new teddies and still not making any difference. I dont know what else to do?! My 2 year old isnt unsettled at all hes been fine. I just dont understand he has always slept independantly up until moving.. Is it the new house can he sense bad vibes or what?

It could be the move, he's a bit older so can understand more about change than your youngest.
He is also at the age where there imagination can take off regarding being 'scared'.
Even the best sleepers go through phases at some point in there lives like this.
