Our 3 year old also has night terrors. They can be really horrible. We ALWAYS get to him as quickly as we can and try to help him know he's safe by speaking to him calmly and either rubbing his back or picking him up. He often calms down very suddenly without seeming to wake and is just abruptly sleeping peacefully. We don't know if he wakes up enough to realize he's safe or if the nightmare just ends. We often feel that we don't know what we're doing so I don't really have advice; except that I would NOT let her cry herself back to sleep. Our little guy's night terrors have become far fewer since the first month or two he's been with us so I do believe your little girl's will get better, too, as she feels more safe and settled there. Poor kid.
