Abnormal Sleep behaviour forTtoddler-Sleepwalking

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]"Sleepwalking If your child walks in her sleep, she may appear to be awake, but she's not. Her eyes will be open, but she'll have a blank look on her face. She may get up and walk around or even engage in activities like getting dressed or playing. If she talks, she won't make much sense. She may sleepwalk for just a few minutes or much longer — even half an hour or more. Sleepwalking is most common in children ages 4 to 8, but it can happen at any age. Often a child will sleepwalk if she's anxious or overly tired. It's not dangerous to wake up a sleepwalking child, but if you do, she'll be very confused — so it may be best just to gently guide her back to bed. You'll want to take extra precautions to keep your night rambler safe, because she can easily get hurt while walking around in the dark. Make sure she won't be able to open any doors or windows while sleepwalking, and block off stairways. Also try to keep things she might trip over off the floor, and scan the house for hazards after tucking her in at night. Sleepwalking usually isn't cause for concern, but if your child does it often, mention it to her doctor at the next visit. Make sure she's getting enough rest, preferably with a dependable sleeping schedule and an early bedtime."[/b] May God bless You and have a great time.
