Endsley Givhan Bolen submitted this dialogue with her son, John, age 7, who was having trouble sleeping in his bed:

John: Mom you don’t understand! I can’t fall asleep no matter what I do!!

Endsley: John, you have to sleep in your room in your bed. You can do this! Just lie very still and you will fall asleep.

John: I would ask if I could play with a small toy for one minute to help me fall asleep but this is the ONLY thing in my room I have to play with!!!

Endsley said he was holding up a string of dental floss.
