Bad dreams!
10 Answers
My 8 year old daughter is always having bad dreams,we have the odd night that she will sleep through but most nights she will wake up crying,sometimes she can be almost hysterical to the point where i will put her duvet down on the floor beside our bed so we can get some sleep,i cant see anything that can be causing them,she shares a room with her older sister so she's not in on her own,is it just a phase possibly?I don't remember my eldest two being like this,thanx!!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.My 6 yr old did this from birth till last year.We eventually took him to a sleep clinic who said that he had Night Terrors.They are very distressing to watch and he even used to thrash about,but in the morning he didnt remember a thing.He slowly grew out of them and hasnt had one for about 10 months now.Your daughter will grow out of this hopefully.Good luck.x
I have had 4 kids and my son is the only one to do this - it used to freak me out,especially when he used to start screaming.In the end I would sit by his bed and just stroke his head till he calmed down,never woke him up as that would confuse him even more.If you like I could try and get hold of the number of the clinic for you?x
