Help next to constant nightmares.?
my brother in laws daughter is 4 years old and wake up 2/3 times during the night with nightmares, she has herself worried of bedtime because she is terrified of having a bad drean, resulting within her having bad dreams. this is an ongoing thing for a year or two, she hasnt have a tramatic experience and is generally happy. although cranky at times due to lack of sleep i guess. does anyone enjoy any suggestions on how they can help their daughter sleep better its heartbreaking to see how tired and understandibly frustated they are.
Have her see a doctor that specializes in sleeping disorders . The only logical entry I can think of besides seeing a doctor and I know it has worked for me when I was immature and even today is to read as long as she can before bedtime and read something that she is interested in that makes her healthy. Reading is very powerful for the mind . It helped me with my anxiety attacks that i used to own . But reading and exercise and meditation but meditation is probably not for her as she is very young reading is a good meditation for her.

When I be in high scool I experienced a bad bitter trip. For a year and a half I was terrified of sleeping. Falling asleep while within a fearful state of mind unleashed my worst nightmares. If she can be made to understand this, that SHE is in control of her dreams by taking control of her thoughts while falling asleep. It would make her dreams sweeter. I tried praying and at first it didn't work. looking rear I was much to fearful and felt surrounded by evil (or monsters, for a child), which was at the root of my obsession (being helpless while I slept) only when I understood God's love for me and the power he gave me over my nervousness did I finally get some restful sleep..
Answers: When my grand daughter began have night terrors around this same age we bought her a dream catcher. We explained to her that it is a very special point. It hangs in her window and that when her hot dreams come into her room from the moon and stars they come through the beautiful design woven into the dream catcher. The bad dreams get adjectives tangled up and only the good thankful dreams can get through. It worked, no more bad dreams.
I have also hear of someone (on a movie) that spent the day telling their little one that whatever they did they should not expect about cute little pink bunnies all day. Then, when they tucked them into bed that darkness they also asked them not to go to sleep thinking about cute little pink bunnies. Guess what? You got it - the child dreamed of cute little pink bunnies!
Good luck and God bless you.
Marshfield have a good suggestion. My son also went through a phase where he be having nightmares. We bought him a dreamcatcher and explained that it had magical powers to keep the fruitless dreams away. It worked very well. If you have never see one, it is a round or pear shaped loop with netting inside. You hang it on the child's bedroom. The legend is that it catch bad dreams and lets good dreams come through.
