Why do children have night terrors every day?

Night terrors are most likely to occur in infants under one year old. At this time, the baby's body is still very delicate, especially the internal organs, which are easily weak. Therefore, the baby is easily frightened and often cannot sleep at night, and then will cry constantly, which is very tormenting for parents. The following are some of the reasons that lead to children's frequent night terrors.

Why do children have night terrors every day?

This depends on whether the baby was frightened during the day or whether it was caused by life events. Also, attention should be paid to whether it was caused by abnormalities in trace elements in the body, which is also possible. For example, whether it is caused by calcium deficiency or zinc deficiency, you need to see a doctor and conduct some practical examinations before you can make a judgment.

Measures to prevent night terrors:

1) Good work and rest habits and sleep hygiene, such as not turning on the lights, keeping the room well ventilated, sleeping in the right position, not eating too much before going to bed, etc., so that the brain can develop normally and get enough rest.

2) Help children relax. After eliminating physiological and physical factors, parents should try to avoid things that may cause night terrors, and objectively relieve the pressure on children. At the same time, through storytelling and playing games, provide targeted psychological counseling for children, so that they can relieve anxiety, relax their body and mind, and cultivate their strong will and cheerful personality. After going to bed, family members can talk to children affectionately or listen to some relaxing music together, which can often make children fall asleep happily. This is a good way to avoid night terrors.

3) Properly increasing the amount of exercise your child does during the day can not only strengthen your physical fitness, but also promote the balance of brain neurotransmitters. Moreover, when children are more active during the day and feel tired, they are more likely to fall asleep deeply at night, thus improving their sleep quality.
