What Are Night Terrors & How Can I Help My Child Cope?

Moms – Jayme Kennedy

As a parent, one of the most heartbreaking things we do is comfort our kids after they’ve had a nightmare. Hearing your child cry or call out for you after they’ve woken from a deep sleep because of a bad dream is just so sad! Especially for younger kiddos, who don’t quite understand that dreams and nightmares aren’t real and can’t really hurt them. But as bad as nightmares can be, they don’t come close to trying to comfort your child when they suffer from night terrors. Night terrors aren’t your standard nightmare of bad dream – this sleep phenomenon can render your child inconsolable, and leave you struggling to find a way to make them feel better.
