how do you you get your child from screaming in the middle of the night.(bad dream wise)?

Answers:
It could be night terrors. My daughter had them. They are still asleep but eyes are open. I used to have to talk soothingly to her. Just kept talking and talking until she calmed down. I thought she was awake. But she was screaming, her eyes were open and she was stiff, and she was terrified. It went on for about 6 months and then she grew out of it. Now she talks in her sleep, wonder if they are related?

awwww, my brother used to be like that.My mom made up this really relaxing bedtime ritual.He got a bath,a story,either music or a pleaseant movie he could watch before bedtime.Usually if a child has a pleaseant experience before bedtime,he will sleep till morning.Also try a night light. Hope this helps.

keep a night light on in his bedroom and turn on some soothing music and leave it on all night it should help the nightmares go away

first you have to find out why is your child having bad dreams... there might be a reason ... and if you find that reason you can help your child alot
if you have more than one child make sure the other one is not telling him/her scary stories... that is the most common reason that a child has bad dreams , but it also can be more in to it
if you did not find out then take your child for a good consulting

that it very seriously and find the reason

good luck These could be night terrors. A great web sight for learning about these is nightterrors.org.

If they are simply bad dreams, I would take special care in what they watch on tv, video games they play, and books they read. Also, a calming night time routine may help (snack, bath, brush teeth, story, snuggle, sleep time). After the dream, when they wake up, gentle cooing, and a short snuggle may help. Good Luck!
