More terrifying for the parents than the child. The first time my son experienced this, he quickly went back to sleep and I stayed awake the whole night too scared to fall asleep.
Excellent advice on what to do when your child is having a night terror
Hi Tasmiya!
Yes, we have been through these “night terrors” with both our girls. They used to wake up screaming but be to sleepy to really pick them up or anything. I just used to lie with them till they went back to sleep. When it was bad, I would pick them up and rock them. They would have been 2-3 years old when they got this. We found that for our girls that it lasts for a month or two at a time and then it passes. Yes, horrible for the parents because there isn’t much you can do to help them. I hope yours will pass soon!
