Question
What’s causing your child to cry after falling asleep at night?
Answer
If your child cries and screams at night while sleeping without fully waking up, this may be a sign of night terrors. Night terrors are often caused by stress or excitement from the day, such as school or other stimulating events. It’s advisable to pay more attention to your child during the day and communicate with them to better understand the possible causes. Additionally, night terrors can be related to calcium deficiency, so consider supplementing with calcium. For night terrors, medication is not necessary as it has no actual effect on children, and the issue is mainly caused by psychological problems in the child. Talking with your child may be the best solution.
