What's an appropriate way to deal with this? My son's normally a pretty good sleeper, but has woken the last three nights with nightmares, calling out for me. Was crying the first night, just shouting on me the next two. I gave him a cuddle, calmed him down and left the door open a bit (there's a small light on overnight in the hallway) and he was fine. I don't mind doing this, although obviously I'm tired the next day. However, DH gets v annoyed at having his sleep disturbed, and thinks that I should be telling DS to get up and open the door himself to let the extra light in rather than waking us up. I think it's unreasonable to ask a scared 6-year-old to get out of bed to open his own door. But at the same time I don't want him to be just waking up and shouting out for me and getting used to me coming through for the slightest thing. Any advice on what's the right approach for this? I've thought about introducing a night light but, as I said, he's normally a good sleeper and I don't want to create a situation where he can't sleep without it!
