My 2 yrs old hardly sleeps maybe avg. 6 hrs/night wakes up often. he does not take naps. when he sleeps he has night terrors. will melatonin help him?

Don't medicate him : I would advise against medicating kids that young unless absolutely necessary. Welcome to the terrible 2s. Can you elaborate on night terrors? Maybe he just needs a night light or to sleep next to his parents?
