answer:Ah yes…night terrors. My son has these too around the same age-I believe it’s normal and occurs around that age (3-ish) and could be related to (normal) brain develoment and psychology. It was kind of scary with my youngest son as he would throw major fits and really was inconsolable-I remember on one particular ‘lovely’ evening, my wife and I trying to talk him down from a tantrum-like frienzy, and we had ended up on the kitchen floor trying to give him water from a sippy cup, only to be doused by his throwing the cup through the air at us. I swear it was like Damian from The Omen! After a bi of reading up we learned that he was actually still in a dream state, but that it seemed like he was awake from his energy and intensity. The best thing to do is to keep her safe from harming herself (if she wants to wander from her room), and to keep a water by the bed. Also night lights may not be enough as they get disoriented from the darkness, maybe try keeping table lamps on in the rooms at night. The other big one for us was the manner and method/routine for putting our sons to bed. The imagery from some bedtime stories/books may be intense, as can be with watching television at night. These are but a few suggestions based on personal experience (our eldest son never had these issues btw, and slept through younger one’s tirades!). There are other things to look out for, but you may want to seek the advice of your (daughter’s) pediatrician, as other factors may be involved (e.g. food allergies). Good luck and take turns handling it with wifey…we feel your pain ;)
