Posted by mum65 on October 15, 2007 at 16:16:33:My 8 years old girl still has night terror and I am worrying she will not grow out of it.
It all started when she was 3.5 years old. The day I was sacked (because of her father) and was not able to pick her up from child care center on time. My friend, who she wasn't very familiar went to pick her up, but she wouldn't go with her, instead she screamed cried until I turned up. After that she started to have night terror.
In the first year, it happened almost every 2 to 3 nights, and was down to once a month when she was 6. I thought it will soon gone. But in the last six months, it is getting worst, it is now about every 5 nights.
Last night, she was picked up by the same friend. After she arrived home, she started to cry. It looked like she was triggered by the horror which happened more than four years ago. She couldn't stop crying and couldn't breath properly. I could see her eyes were closing up and was about to collapse. Fortunately, she was back to normal later.
Are they related? Should I bring her to see a Psychologist?
