Night terrors in children, does any one else have kids who suffer from night ter!
Question: my son used to get fibrile fits (from heat) when he was about 19 months old-till 3half yrs old. he then started getting night terrors lasting up to 1hr 20 mins. we changed his diet n cut out preservatives, artificial colours etc n this helped a lot. he had a night terror the other night, i think it was due to the heat wave we have been getting. its very stressfull and hard to handle. does anyone else have these problems? i took him into the bathroom with lavender oil burning n that seemed to snap him out of it a bit which was great but does anyone have any suggestions that may help? my partner n i oftern get very stressed out during n after them, as we fear he will have another one. no one i know has a child who has this prob. any suggestions would be apprectiated??

my son had night terrors until he turned 12. the best thing to do is not to wake them up or shake them out of it. just keep them from hurting themselves and let it work itself out. i know how horrible and traumatic it can be to see your child going through something like that. trust me, i cried the first time it happened. but you have to remember that the child is just dreaming, he wont remember any of it when he does wake up. i never did find out why my son had those but i do know that they will grow out of them. good luck
I have problems like this myself I don't think its anything you need to worry about Im 15 and I still have these kind of problems
You've done great by removing the chemicals in his diet! These problems do occur at various ages, and have various triggers, - and should be a clue to you that something is out of balance that must be addressed. But don't stress out about it. I have seen many children have the night terrors eliminated by homeopathic remedies.
