My 4 year old wakes up crying most nights, says she's scared and mumbling. She had slept walked once or twice too. Last night she was inconsolable, mummy was missing and lost and I was never to leave her again.
I think she's having nightmares, but also, I'm living with cancer, only diagnosed a few months ago. Whilst I've never discussed this with her and I'm not going through treatment so there arent any physical differences, I wonder if she has subconsciously picked up on something and coming out in her dreams? She did get upset during the night prior to this so might just be a coincidence. Anyone any ideas on how to tackle this/nightmares? We've tried lights, music, lying with her until she falls asleep and story time.
Any ideas what I can try?
