Everything you know about Madeleine you know from her parents, two people who you also appear to believe are liars and untrustworthy.  Ironic innit.

She had a star chart - she was rewarded when she managed to stay in bed all night.... Hardly what you'd expect for a good sleeper!

 @)(++(*   So we all agree the children were light sleepers then- Good!

The parents said they went to Portugual on holiday- that is true
they said they ate food-  this is true
they said they played tennis- this is true


I'm sorry I  didn't get any irony. I think it woul be fair to say the parents version of accounts of that holiday are up for a challenge.

Madeleine had a star chart at home - she was given a star when she managed to stay in bed all night!

It's positive parenting. Rewarding what you are trying to achieve. You know this.

She had achieved it to some extent by the number of stars.  Maybe the new surroundings reversed the positive parenting progress.

We don't know that - we do know she sometimes didn't stay in her own bed, though.

we are talking about a person we barely know.  Will she sleep as well in a strange place? A place with people living next door. I'd hate to guess.  So I'm out.
