Question
My son frequently cries with his eyes closed during sleep, accompanied by random hand pulling and indistinct sounds. Sometimes, he even stuffs his blanket into his mouth. This occurs not only at night but also during daytime naps. I want to know what could be causing this, as I am worried he might have a neurological issue. He is six years old, and this has been going on for about three years.
Answer
Children may reenact daily stresses and unhappy experiences in their dreams, which can be detrimental to their growth and overall mental and physical health in the long run. It is advisable to listen to your child’s thoughts and help him resolve his inner unease, allowing past events to remain in the past and no longer affect his emotions.
