Many parents worry because the night hysteria begins in children. Often, moms and dads can not understand and adequately explain why this happens. Because of a misunderstanding of the situation, they themselves become nervous when the next night's hysteria begins in children. That's why many parents are looking for answers on the forums and asking their friends. Of course, you should always try to get as much information as possible, but remember that every child has a reason for hysterics.
Therefore, those methods that are suitable for some children, others can simply do much harm. Before giving drugs that can stop tantrums, be sure to see a doctor. Only he can accurately determine what caused this condition of the child and attributed the correct treatment.
Possible reasons
However, in order for the parents to be more or less informed, we will tell you why the night tantrums usually begin. First, the child can make night tantrums because of the negative emotional atmosphere in the family. In young children, the highest sensitivity to bad energy, which accumulates in homes where everyone is unhappy, is often shouted and cursed. Another cause of hysteria may be a wrong daily routine. Many modern parents believe that children should not put a rigid framework. However, if the baby sleeps before dinner, plays until midnight, does not observe any regime, eats, when he wants and does not sleep during the day, his nervous system can be depleted, which leads to such nightly hysterics. Of course, the cause of hysteria can be and health problems, as well as the various emotions that the kid is experiencing for the day. That's why all psychologists are strongly advised to never include films and broadcasts in young children that show blood and violence. Having seen enough of this day, the kid is overexcited, frightened, his fragile nervous system starts to "naughty", which leads to hysterics.
Behavior of parents
What should parents do if the child starts hysterical? First, they should not lose self-control, otherwise, the kid will be scared even more. Usually hysteria begins after the child wakes up in the middle of the night. If your baby already knows how to speak, try to gently and calmly ask him about what he dreamed. When a son or daughter tells that he had a dream about something terrible, try to explain to the child that all this is not real and nobody will offend him. Hug him, kiss, sing a lullaby or start telling a good tale. In general, make sure that the fairy tale for the night does not contain any terrible characters, which can then dream and frighten the child. Most often, hysterics occur with children from three to eight years. Remember that at this age such incidents are the norm. Nighttime tantrums are not an indication that a child has any mental and physical abnormalities. Simply at this age children receive a huge amount of information and the brain does not always have time to process it. As a result, images and concepts received in a day can be confused, creating an unpleasant picture.
Night tantrums often happen to children who are too active. The fact is that the brain must rest in a dream. If he actively works, then there are various unpleasant pictures, there are emotions of fear, which become the cause of hysteria. That's why make sure that at least two hours before bedtime the child begins to calm down. Suggest him to lay down the toys and make him sit watching some kind of cartoon or listen to a fairy tale. If the child is prone to hysterics, it is best not to leave it for the night in pitch darkness. Buy a night light for the child, then the light will always be able to calm the baby and he will not think about all sorts of horrors. But if you see that tantrums are constantly repeating, just in case, however, contact a specialist.
