Night Terrors???

My four year old had them....as did a toddler. I will say that they never woke anyone else. I think the other kids know mom has it handled and it just isn't a big deal. The toddler was the screamer. It was hysterical. Night terrors often last 10-20 minutes. We'd pick him up, but if we put him back down before it was truly over (something pretty tough to judge until I found out there was a time pretty universal to night terrors), it was worse than ever. Finally, we figured it out. Anyway, he had them nightly most of the time we had him. And then they went away.With stbas, his was triggered by needing to go to the bathroom. It took a second neurology visit to figure that out! He would sleep walk, talk, not be able to follow directions (put underwear on his head), wet even if standing at the toilet, etc. He peed on hubby three times! LOLAnyway, eliminating the trigger (in this case, him gaining enough night time control not to need to wake up to potty) solved the problem.
