Anyone have a kid who has night terrors? What in the hell are you supposed to do during one???…

My sons has started having them he screams out I’m scared I’m scared and wakes up at different times throughout the night we just hold him real tight and say we’re here it’s ok and he falls back asleep but it’s pretty frequent

@mommaofboyz, we try to hold him but he fights us off and thrashes around. It’s really scary and sad at the same time.

@honeyxxbee, thankfully his only last a few mins.. and after it, he passes out like nothing had happened

It is is it your younger or older child I saw ours are close in age

@mommaofboyz, it’s my 5 year old 🙁

Poor guy :( I Pinterest ideas when I’m clueless see if they have any advice

@mommaofboyz, ok thanks

My 2 year old woke up One night running out of his room screaming and crying . I was scared I had no idea what was going on. My poor baby .. he was still half asleep but ran back to me and when I picked him up he fell asleep as if nothing happened. It was crazy.

I use to have them. Sometimes in bed, sometimes I would get up and walk to my moms room. She was told to just guide me back to my room, but NEVER try to wake me up.

I hold him and keep saying "it's ok, mommy is here" until he calms down.

my daughter started hers when she got a really bad flu and ear infection at the same time. since then she would have one here and there. We co-sleep so i pretty much wait it out until she starts to calm down and then i pick her up and just hold her in my arms and rock her, while telling her its okaay, mommy and daddy is here. she eventually calms down and is back to soundly sleeping again. If i grab her too soon she will tosss and kick and scream louder. Thats why i wait.

I read an article awhile back that said as long as they can’t hurt them self or aren’t then to let them scream it out because talking or trying to calm them only makes it worse.
