Could A Child Complaining About Feeling Of Being Watched While Having ADHD Be Normal?

My 11 year old son has been complaining to me that he feels like he s being watched when he s trying to go to sleep. He is a very well behaved child with a very loving family, lots of friends, he s good in school. He does have ADHD but more of the attention part of it. He is very respectful, caring and loving. He is not being bullied as I am at the school frequently and am very involved. Is this just normal child afraid of the dark issues. Lori

Hi Madam
I dont think your son has any problem to be worried.It is common for this age to have such issues.Does he watch television very frequently or a long duration?does he watch any scary movies or programs?If so just bring down on them.Tell him to read nice story books or hear pleasant music before going to bed.If required you can give him company for few days without leaving him alone at nights..You can do this trial and get back regarding the problem.
