All can create havoc in your home, and some can be harmful to your child. Some children have episodes of night terror that may occur less than once per month, and do not result in harm to the child or others. While some children experience episodes less than once per week, and do not result in harm to the child or others. In its severest form, the episodes occur almost nightly, or are associated with physical injury to the child or others. Consult a sleep specialist if you are concerned.

If you are one of the lucky few who never had a problem getting your child to sleep through the night, then perhaps this segment is NOT for you. But if you are like the rest of us, solving your child's sleep problems is a top priority.
