How do you prevent night terrors in family member?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No True Prevention: Night terrors most commonly occur in younger children and are usually associated with younger developmental stages. There is no consistent way to prevent them, and they usually disappear over time. Sometimes there are connected to other sleep related disturbances, and medications to help with sleep may improve the night terrors.
