Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift its head but can roll over, has normal appetite, and shows no obvious abnormalities, but occasionally trembles. How can one help a child overcome their fear of the dark?
Answer
This condition may be caused by calcium deficiency leading to night terrors, which are typically characterized by sudden waking up and crying or showing fear. It is recommended to undergo a blood trace element test and follow the principle of supplementing what is deficient. Increase intake of calcium-rich foods such as fish and bone soup. Additionally, pay attention to a balanced diet and regular work and rest, and avoid excessive reliance on television to stimulate the child’s interest in learning.
