Abnormal Sleep behaviour forTtoddler-Nightmares

Tweet

Hello everyone here Ji, Most parents would agree that the most delightful toddler sleep behavior is peaceful snoozing. But your toddler might do all sorts of other things while asleep — some of which might seem strange, even alarming. Most are perfectly normal and no cause for concern, but a few are worth checking into. Let's discuuss one by one. What Babycentre says in its bulletin: http://www.babycenter.com... -more_3656751.bc?page=1 [b]"Nightmares Nightmares can be caused by anxiety and stress. They often happen in the later part of the night, during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. And they happen more often to children than to adults. A fever, medication, or difficulty sleeping — because of a breathing problem, for example — may also bring about nightmares. Nightmares are especially common in older toddlers and preschoolers. Children this age have a growing imagination and an increasing understanding that things can cause harm to them. The nightmare will probably wake your child up, and he'll be frightened or anxious. He'll probably remember the dream. All you need to do when your child has a nightmare is comfort him as best you can and try to soothe him back to sleep. If he's having nightmares repeatedly, you'll want to think about what kinds of stress he's experiencing in his waking hours and do what you can to reduce it. If you're concerned about your toddler's nightmares, talk with his doctor."[/b] May god bless you nad have a great time.
