Today we're tackling a topic close to many parents' hearts: managing nightmares and night terrors in children. We're going to delve into why kids experience these intense, often scary disturbances at night and what parents can do to help.

We'll distinguish between nightmares, which occur during REM sleep, and night terrors, which take place during non-REM sleep and can involve physical actions like kicking or screaming. Plus, we'll share practical strategies for preventing and handling these episodes, from establishing a soothing bedtime routine to ensuring the right sleep environment.

Join us as we provide not only guidance but also a glimpse into how addressing these challenges can positively impact family dynamics and parental relationships.

In this episode we share:

• What are nightmares and night terrors
• How to prevent nightmares
• The difference between nightmares and night terrors  
• How to handle when your child has a nightmare or night terror
