Guide to Overcoming Night Terrors in Children
How beautiful life would be if in the evening, when it’s bedtime, your child didn’t refuse to go to bed, went to his room, placed a kiss on your cheek and fell into the arms of a deep sleep that lasted until morning stops. Right? But things may not be so easy, especially in preschool age. Additionally, some nights children wake up screaming for no reason and can be very insistent about sleeping with their parents and refuse to sleep in their own room. In this situation, you first have to accept that children are afraid of the dark or of falling asleep at night! If you can guide them with a calm and solution-oriented approach, you can overcome this problem!
-
Children experience different fears as they develop. Research them and learn what fears they might have at what time.
-
Watch your child. Determine when and how their fears began and in which situations they increased. This can give you guidance on precautions to take.
-
Ask him about his fears. Even if it doesn’t make sense to you, listen to him and try to convince him that there is no reason to be afraid.
-
Never make fun of their fears. Make him feel like you care about him. If you underestimate him, his fears may increase and he may lack confidence for the future.
-
Spend time together before bed. Do activities together that allow them to express their feelings, such as painting and shaping dough.
-
If he wakes up scared at night, run to him, hug him and try to calm him down. Never shout or approach in a threatening manner.
-
Get him used to sleeping in his own room early on. Take a determined and consistent path.
-
Offer him fun alternatives to sleeping in his own bed. Declare a favorite toy a sleep toy.
-
If he wakes up at night and wants to come to bed with you, always put him in his own bed.
-
If the problem persists despite all of this, be sure to contact a professional. Remember: Failing to find a solution to overcome fears at a young age can lead to more serious mental health problems in the future!
