Abnormal Sleep behaviour forTtoddler-Night terrors

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]"Night terrors If your toddler sits up in bed and seems terrified, she may be having a night terror, also known as a sleep terror. She may be screaming and sweating. She probably won't remember what happened, and she'll be difficult to wake up or console. Like nightmares, night terrors can be triggered by fever, overtiredness, and stress. Unlike nightmares, they often occur in the first third of the night during deep sleep. Night terrors are most common in children ages 3 to 5, but they can happen at any age. And most kids outgrow them by age 10 or so. It can be very upsetting to watch your child experience a night terror. As with sleepwalking, it's best not to interfere. Just let the night terror run its course, says sleep expert Mindell. If you try to comfort your child, she's likely to become more agitated and the episode will last longer. Not getting enough sleep is often a major contributor to night terrors, so make sure your child heads off to bed early and gets plenty of shut-eye. If your child has frequent night terrors, talk with her doctor, who may suggest stress-reduction techniques. In rare instances, medication may be necessary."[/b] May god bless you and have a great time.
