Answer 1

my son had this too!!....(he is 3) it may also be a combination of night terrors and sleep walking....i noticed too that it always seemed to happen when he had to go to the bathroom at night...he would get up to go to the toilet but then throw himself into a violent tantrum...he would call for me saying "mommy i need you" even though i was standing right with him...his eyes were open but it was like he wasnt awake...my best suggestion is stay calm...and do anything you can to keep her calm...talking softly and just being there to help her if you can..there is nothing you can do about this and hopefully she will outgrow it as my son did ...he hasnt had an episode in almost a yr..also make sure part of your bedtime routine is going potty before she goes to bed...if she doesnt have to go it may avoid this
