Question
Why does a 9-year-old child frequently get up at night and perform odd actions, sometimes saying strange things and even sitting at the table to read? What should I do?
Answer
Based on your description, the child may be suffering from somnambulism. This condition often reappears in children around the age of two and is largely related to the living environment. It is recommended to create a warm and comfortable living environment, maintain mental and physical well-being, maintain a healthy and balanced diet, enhance physical exercise to improve the child’s physique, and pay more attention to communication with the child to reduce their stress, allowing the child to stay cheerful and happy.
