Tantrums: 4 AM is an usual time to have a tantrum. Is there a frogged? Take a video to see if there are any features of seizures. Or he could be experiencing night terrors. See the AAP healthy child site to read about night terror. Tantrums are best ignored as long as she is safe.

Night terrors are a : parasomnia, a sleep disorder that begins from age 3-12 & lasts till adolescence. During Stage 3-4 of non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep, usually in the 1st half of the night, a child sits bolt upright, sleepwalks/runs, screams, & sweats, but doesn't respond to communication. S/he swings at, punches or kicks anyone who awakens him/her & has no memory of the episode. Don't wake him/her up. See comment.
