» Does Your Kid Get Night Terrors? Here's How to Scare Them Off For Good
If you've found yourself waking up in the middle of the night to your little one kicking, screaming, or crying - all while they're still asleep - don't brush it off as simply another nightmare. Your child may be experiencing bad dreams on steroids, otherwise known as night terrors. So what exactly are they? According to the Mayo Clinic, "Sleep terrors are episodes of screaming, intense fear, and flailing while still asleep." They're also often accompanied by sleepwalking.
While children typically outgrow night terrors, they can be very scary for parents and lead to some seriously sleepless nights. Dr. Laura Markham, a clinical psychologist at Columbia University and the founder of Aha! Parenting, says that night terrors can take place at any age, but she sees them the most in young kids. And while sleep terrors are fairly common - 1.5 million children get them each year - there are some ways to keep them from happening as frequently.
