Night Terrors and my little boy

YES with my oldest..and it was around that age as well (2 or so)..and I'll tell ya, it was the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced with him! DONT wake him....that was what I was instructed by my pedia. back then....She also told me that he doesnt know its happening and most likely doesnt even remember it in the morning and he'd grwo out of it..which he did...the thing to be careful of is his safety..sometimes little ones who are having night terrors will get out of bed and roam so you should IMO when you hear him scream just stay with him until the terror is over..but DONT try to wake him cause believe it or not that could actually scare him...Night terrors arent the same as nightmares so he has no idea whats goin on and if you wake him while YOU are in a panic that could really scare the everlovin out of him...

Night terrors are common in children of that age. Don't worry he will outgrow them. My daughter had night terrors for what seemed like forever. The only thing you can do is just comfort them. I used to just hold her until she woke up and could look me in the face and tell me who was holding her. They are very scary but having them talk about them also helps sometimes. Even if they don't realize it there is something behind the night terrors, it may be something silly but hey we all get afraid sometimes.

I had bad dreams as a child. You need to find out what is happening in these dreams. I saw a psychologist about them and was helped a lot by my parents during these times. But they passed. I still get the same dreams recurring occasionally even now, but I know how to deal with them.. It is safe to wake him.
