4 year old waking up screaming

[PeggyL]

Hi, for the last 2 weeks my eldest, 4 in July, has started waking up, always around 13:30, screaming and crying. One of us goes in and he resettles really quickly but there doesn't seem any real reason, any suggestions to get him out of this habit? Thanks x

Is that what they call night terrors? I've never experienced it but a friend of mine did. It turned out to coincide with a clock that had stopped and they thought the absence of the comforting rock woke him up in a panic. Except he wasn't properly awake, if you see what I mean, and eater than wake him I think they just used to soothe him back to proper sleep.

Sounds awful. Hope you find a solution.
