Night terrors...
I am a freaking psychology major and my poor little two year old is having night terrors! This is so awful, I know I should not feel like a freaking horrible parent, but guess what? I do! He has been doing this off and on for about two months, but lately it has been getting more frequent! Last night Jim and I were up with him from 12:30 am to 3:30 am. We fought and it was awful because we are both so tired and frustrated. Well, today I took him to the doctor and he set me up with a psychologist. I have been reading up on night terrors which I should have already known more about, but unfortunately I haven't had child psych yet. Anyway, we would try to comfort him and stuff and take him downstairs blah blah blah, well nothing worked. Come to find out he is not even awake or aware of our presence. How weird, huh? Scary as heck! We are suppose to wake him up 1-2 hours after he falls asleep and talk to him and stuff and then let him go back to sleep. That will help by pass the night terror which happens about that time. We are going to try it tonight I just am so scared to wake him up! What if he doesn't go back to sleep? What if we are completely off base here? AHHHHH! I am so worried!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
