Apparently with night terrors kids sit up and seem disoriented and if you wake them up they often don't recognize the parents. Quinn lays on his stomach and cries, and eventually he stands up and calls for us.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08789155306306199269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207557587475182327.post-31464315151150083732010-11-24T15:59:24.135-07:002010-11-24T15:59:24.135-07:00I did this, and I'm a biokid.

In my book, it indicates a 'loaded up' kid - and it's processing time while sleeping.<br /><br />My five year old? His (when he has them, they're getting rarer all the time) are too violent to let alone (he'd be safer on the floor), so we often have to wake him out of them.<br /><br />The triggers I've seen are angry ones - frustration, anger, adjustment times. Coaxing answers and reassuring him that it's okay to be mad, we would be too! seem to help the most.Donna Hutt Stapfer Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14291151611387391747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207557587475182327.post-7626571118494373672010-11-20T15:51:03.117-07:002010-11-20T15:51:03.117-07:00Thanks so much, Ruby.

I didn't read the whole article, but it looks helpful. My only suggestion, as a parent, would be getting him a heartbeat to listen to. Here is the link: http://children.webmd.com/guide/night-terrors<br />I did do a search for a heartbeat soundtrack or music box and found this:http://www.bamababiesandbirthdays.com/Baby-Sleep-CD-p/slumbercd.htm<br />Good luck,<br />RubyChina Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501593747405465770noreply@blogger.com
