Your young child wakes up a few nights per month seemingly in a panic. She sits up in bed screaming and crying. When awakened, the child usually returns to sleep and doesn’t remember this happening at all. What is the best explanation for this behavior?
She may be exhibiting symptoms of early onset epilepsy.
She has excessive anxiety during the day.
She has too much sugar in her diet.
She is probably experiencing night terrors, a fairly common event in early childhood.
