Confession #4

Toddlers..... Four am ... Screaming ... Crying .... Yelling .... What is going on? Toddlers with night terrors. What do you do when your child is screaming a Bloody Mary scream like someone was hurtting him? What do you try to do when he is scared of you because of this dream. Has toddlers learn what is real and what is not it feels like it's one of the hardest things for me to cope with as a parent. I can handle the sick throw up the crying of the the egg the fussy was but an out of control 18 month old that dosnt understand what a dream is has to be the one thing I don't know how to fix or cope with. So I question you what are ways that other parents have coped with. I have tried not feeding so close to bed time I have tried watching cartoons at night before bed. When in the moment of the night terror I let him know who I am when I walk I to the room and I turn on the light. I have tried playing music and singing but the night terror quickly turns to a fit. It makes for a long night long morning and our whole schedule for sleep is thrown off. Any advice would help.
