Ds6 doesn't settle well at night but me being there doesn't seem to help. Recently i have just given up. He goes to our room when Ds g oes to his. As long as he is quiet i leave the door open so he can see me and he reads and plays quietly in bed. After 2 or 3 hours he goes to sleep. If i fight it i have an unpleasant evening and he goes to sleep at the same time. Both ways result in a kid who is hard to get to school but only one gives me time to myself and gets stuff round the house done.
