Answer 1

Have you asked your pediatrician?? She may need and earlier bedtime or a very strict bedtime routine. My son can't sleep and cries off and on all night if I don't read him the "time for bed" book EVERY NIGHT! Drives me crazy but it works. But I'm sure you have done all those things after 2 years.

Answer 2

that what happend to me. What i did is someone sleep with her. And dont let her whach the news and if u live in a safe town tell her the last time someone got hurt in the town. That what helps me adn safe groud the house to let her now its safe.

Answer 3

idk about ur religous belief but if that was ever to happen to my family i would pray as a family before goung to bed.

Answer 4

ask her why, be supportive.. my mom always told me" stop being a baby" when I was young, and to deal with it, and all I wanted was just for her to ask me what was wrong, and I hoped, and hoped, and nothing happened, then I got older, so I stopped hoping.. I'm 14 now.. so.. just ask her.. and then find a solution from there on..

Good luck!

Maybe she is having bad nightmares and doesn't remember them when she wakes up. She just knows that something isn't good when she falls asleep. She feels safe with you around her at night. There is a parent advice group if you want to talk to other parents if your interested. Good Luck!
