5 year old with night terrors - what do they mean?

Question

My daughter has them, ever sence she was 2. She has only had a few but they were bad enough to remember. She will scream but you cant calm her down untill she cant hardly breath. Her eyes are wide open but she cant see you or hear you untill she is coming through and then she seems to be teriffied of you. Her father had them when he was young, does anyone know what they are?

Answer 1

they are panic attacks that come when u sleep. some people like her father will grow out of them, but some people will always have them. usually deep breathing excercises will calm her down. just tell her 2 take a deep breathe and keep breathing slowly until she calms down

Answer 2

There just nightmares, everyone has them, but they're scarier for littler kids.

Answer 3

They are most likely either panic attacks or really bad nightmares.

You could go see a therapist. It may help.

I know it may sound crazy but it may be a paranormal thing.

you could see if you can have a priest bless your house.

Answer 4

My daughter suffered from the same thing; but a lot of it was due to trauma her sperm donor did to my wife when she was really young. It very well could be memories from a past life. See if you can get some info from her. This is wrong, but you might try therapy.
