Hi there, I just wondered if anyone had any advice please.
For the last 6 weeks my 9yo daughter has started to have serious night terrors, between one and three times a night and always before midnight. She has never had any sleep problems from birth but during these events is absolutely petrified and screaming. We always go to her, reassure her, tell her she is perfectly safe, it's just a dream, hold her and tell her we all love her but really don't know what else to do. If she goes to a sleepover it doesn't happen.
She isn't worried about going to bed, wakes up refreshed and ready for the day and has no recollection of any nightmares or indeed dreams at all! We've tried to talk to her about it but she just looks at us as if we are completely bonkers .
She is happy at school, has a good circle of friends, is active during the day, eats well, dances, sings and otherwise is a normal, active, lippy 9yo!
This is going to sound a bit far-fetched but we moved into a new house about 6 months ago but she tells us she loves it and is busy redesigning her bedroom.
Any help would be gratefully received!
