First let me offer my sympathy to you. My son was a terrible sleeper and only started sleeping more than two hours at a time at about 3 1/2 years old. So I know how hard this is for you. I would agree that you may just have to bear the screaming. A reward chart would be a really good idea. Is he scared of something? We discovered that my daughter was scared of "monsters" at that age so we concocted "monster spray" (basically air freshener in a fancily decorated bottle) that we sprayed around her bed every night. It worked pretty well to calm her fears. Maybe there is some similar ritual you can come up with for your son.
