- Sorry for the slacking on Vlogs!! Life has been wild as of late. Traveling, New Home, Kids... haha!
We are super excited to be bringing you a new series coming right here to our UA-cam channel so stay tuned!!!
Pray over her and sing to her. Helps me to stay calm as well when I do this for my babies. ❤️
We always said the prayer
“Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord” prayer and we would say it together before bed.
It's worth it to have a conversation with her pediatrician. My nephew had night terrors until age 4 and my mom told us that she used to have them. I'm no therapist but I would check with her pediatrician because Poppy may have inherited some of Josh's anxiety, at any rate, I believe most children eventually grow out of "night terrors". Good luck with that sweet little baby girl 🥰❤️
Anxiety doesn't usually show up though until later on in life, 10-11, or teenage years, unless the child has had some trauma. It may have just been that the sheets scared her. Little ones can get upset over things like that, and it's normal. Hope she's sleeping better. You're doing a great job, Abbey and Josh.❤❤❤Ps: Maybe one of those nightlights that have soft colors and music will help too. My little one adored his. x
@@Starshine_99anxiety manifests in so many different ways. Child anxiety also looks very different to adult anxiety too
She's since become convinced it's demons, or evil spirits, or the evil eye. Not sure your sage advice will help now....
@@Starshine_99 You may be right although Poppy may be the exception because as I said my nephew had night terrors at around age 4 but hadn't suffered a trauma... I remember when I was a child of 5 I had migraine headaches, (my dad had them also) and some folks tried to say that it couldn't be migraines because of my age, well I had a remarkable and probably
ahead of his time pediatrician who said "yes although rare, some children that young do get migraines). Anyway , I hope they find a solution for that little sweetheart 🙏🏽
Praying for you
My daughter had sleep terrors when she was the same age. I got the idea to take a spray can of febreeze, wrap construction paper around it and decorate it. My daughter put stickers on it and I wrote “Bad dreams go away” on it. Before she went to bed, we would spray her room to be keep bad dreams away. It worked like a charm. For a little bit, she would wake me up and ask to spray again or under her bed or in closet. But within a week or so she had no more bad dreams.🥰
My baby rarely screams like she’s in pain but I remember a few times during nap or night sleep and pretty sure it was a nightmare. Nobody but time can console her, so I spoke to the pediatrician. We changed our routine a bit, including change of pjs, bed sheets and spending extra time cuddling and talking before bed time. Plus we introduce some of her favorite loveys to help her fall back asleep into the crib.
I hope Poppy gets better, also a night light might be helpful if she is afraid of the dark. It always helped me as a kid. Sending love!❤️
As an arab-muslim aunt I usually let my little cousin or my niece to hear some background Quran and they just sleep very peacefully 😌 it actually helps a lot with nightmares and bad energy throughout the house ...best of luck❤
I was thinking too.. May Allah heal her child.
@@butterfly-ww3mr Ameen🤲🏻
Recent story of a young girl who did that for a few years, and ended up killing one of her own children due to religious mania. So not a one-size-fits-all cure, for those who think it might be.
Poor Poot I hope her nightmares go away and that you guys get some sleep. You guys are great parents❤!
Her name is poppy
@@taylorrene8054 her nickname is poot
@@PreppyXThixgs2512 They call her poop when she is really good.
When I was little my parents would recite 2 Timothy 1:7 to me before bed and that definitely helped. I would recommend putting some soft Christian music on while she sleeps. Nothing compares to the peaceful presence of God. 🙌🏻
Except when he's smiting you.
So good ❤❤❤
Or waging wars on those with different beliefs
I would read psalm 91 before sleeping and I’d play Christian music with the Bible next to me as I slept lol. I had an awful year in 2022 with many demonic attacks especially at night.
What if they don’t belive in god? -_-
Awwww, see, you’ve got this!! You’re amazing parents, and I’m so glad to hear that you’re finally getting some well needed sleep.:) Changing the bed was such a great idea, and it looked so pretty too! God Bless Herbert Fam!! 🙏🏼
You are such a good Mom! Love you guys. Im old follow a lot of you kids. Your my absolute favorite. So honest and down to earth. I never thought I would reply to things like this. You always make me smile. Be true to yourselfs. As you are. xo
I hope her new bedsheets and unicorn help her sleep better. She looked so happy!!
I love your channel and how real you are with your fans. ❤
My daughter went through the same thing as Poppy. They are night terrors and they peaked when my son was 2 months old. We found that sticking to the nightly routine and getting to bed early and preventing over tiredness helped with the duration and severity of the night terrors. It lasted for about 3 months pretty much every other night. My daughters finally grew out of it. Hang in there!
These sound very similar to the night terrors I used to have as a little girl. A little trick my parents used to use was to get me to yawn several times because it would help to completely wake me up. They would then ask me questions like my name and their names to help me calm down and get back into the “real world”. I would also recommend making sure she is cool while she sleeps. Overheating and wearing fleece/hot clothing to bed is often a trigger ❤
I have a 3 year old son. 3. He’s been waking up screaming bloody murder and the other night, he clung to me, dug his nails into my back. I’ve never ever seen anything like it in my life, I was so scared. I couldn’t help but cry after I put him back to sleep bc he’s only 3. Still so little . What in the world could he be dreaming that bad? And I feel like it’s my fault like I haven’t protected him enough. So I really appreciate you bringing this up. His pediatrician said age 3 is when they start having bad dreams. I pray every single night with him and make sure to read him a good book too. So if anyone has any suggestions. Love you guys. Thanks for bringing this topic up guys xoxx
Playing gospel music on low in their room helped me with mine
Awww ❤ I hope that it all gets better now
Also Poot is just the sweetest little angel
Awe bless her heart poor little chicken ❤
Don't worry love it won't last everything will be back to normal soon. She is probably still adjusting to her new normal just like you and josh. I've missed seeing you and poppy on shots
💗💗💙💙
Awwww I love and adore you all! I agree you guys are such wonderful parents. So grateful the kids have you and the other way around too! I'm sorry, hope she feels better. Sending good energy always 💛💛🙏🏻🙏🏻💗💗❤❤
I would definitely talk to her pediatrician if it keeps happening. My friend's son used to do that. They found out, with some testing, that he was having seizures with his night terrors. He grew out of them, thankfully. I wouldn't worry unless it happens more often though. It could just be night terrors. (Which is no fun either) I'm sorry that this is happening and you aren't getting much sleep.
You guys are the best parents!
Night terrors. Becoming more independent and processing it. Through it twice. Much love ❤
You are doing a great job. Such a beautiful family, loving their kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh sweet Poppy 🥺
Pray to her and Sing to her until she sleep
Sending you a lot of Love ❤️
This kind of video affects me a lot because I had nightmares until I was 10 years old, I always felt anxious at night, it was hell. I went to see several psychologists who told my parents not to let me sleep with them because it would get worse. However, at night I was terrified I don't know why. So I slept on the floor in front of my parents' door. If I had any advice given it would really be to sleep with her when she has this kind of night to reassure her. Because I don't think that as my psychologist said, you have to leave them in their rooms without saying anything. We must reassure them as much as possible ❤️Also, what you did is awesome!! Creating an environment where she feels safe is really a good thing to do. My parents had also done that, he bought me a kind of tent (the kind of thing we put against mosquitoes) and I felt protected!! I'm sending you love hoping it gets better ❤️
Im jealous of poppy’s bed. I want it 💕🌸
Glad you doing better Poppy, we love u 😘
I get how hard it can be to be a mum but Abbie ur seriously doing amazing, keep it up ❤
Awe, my 2.5 year old son gets them sometimes too. He wakes up shaking scared. I have no advice but to just hold them and show them that everything is safe and they are loved and you won’t let anything bad happen to them.
As muslim i experienced sleep paralysis until i started being consistent with my night prayers before sleeping islamic verses like ayat ul kursi 3 kuls and dua before sleeping and it never happened again
It helps prevention from jins and night mares😭❤️ hope she get well soon sweet little girl
Okay we went through the same thing with Piper she’s now 3 we thought it was blankets or the room. No guess what it turned out to be her feet was going numb or hands from how she falls asleep and she had no idea what was going on. She would be screaming and pointing and we wasn’t understanding at all. Had nothing to do with area or things, it’s just like when our foot falls asleep or hands and it hurts well, baby doesn’t understand. Maybe try watch and see if you start massaging her foot or hands and if that may be it. Worth a shot ❤
I used to have to give baths, play classical music and pray with my children from birth up to 10yrs +
It really was invaluable, lige changing and life giving❤
I follow a good bit of families with toddlers and y'all's Poot has to be my absolute favorite out of the bunch!!🎉💯 Little Ivey from The Cordell's is next and Emby from Saraplustwins is my all time favorite "not toddler",lol. Blakely from The Churcos, let's just say I'm not a fan but Poots laugh, cutest face and smile and her personality and laugh gets my heart. Along with her little mischievous way about her is just too much. I love it!! Just the right amount of everything!!! Keep it up mama you seem to be doing an amazing job and I can't wait to see what an amazing little person she grows up to be. Thanks for allowing us to follow in y'all's journey!!!
Not sure how much this will help but we had a similar situation with our little girl. At the time she was also 2 and it was so hard, I’d say it was harder then when she was a new born. We are religious and found that saying prayers with her before bed helped, I also reminded her before naps and bed that the things that were scaring her were pretend and although she was feeling scared and that was true, the things she was fearing weren’t, we talked about other things that were pretend to help her understand what else wasn’t real in life but didn’t scare her. Hope that helps ❤️ and it gets better soon. 💕
When my girls had night terrors what snapped them out of it was taking them to the bathroom, I don’t know why but putting them on the toilet to go potty always snapped them out of it. It was like they were still dreaming/ half awake until the bathroom. Also getting them a drink helped sometimes snap them out of it. It will get better 💕
You should start selling them Josh!😊❤
Its gonna be alright! ❤
Hi Abby, I had night terrors till I was around ten, it was so scary and when they were really bad I would wake up or remember it in the mornings. It normally was worse on stressful days. Some tips I actually remember helping me was..
#1. Melatonin to relax my brain
#2 when I was having one your parent taking you through it really slowly and explaining its ok your safe I’m right here! When you say ur right there say who you are because if her eyes are open she still can’t process who you are.
#3 having a calm day
#4 a snuggly buddy or pet.
#5 a lot for me it felt like the bottom was falling out of the world which is so scary. Your body feels like it floating or falling to strong support is good. Or her on her bed. That’s probably why she was pointing at the sheets!
I hope this helped if you could respond saying if it helped so I know that would be great! ❤ sending love and prayers
im still in the middle of watching your video, I don’t have any kids yet, but I am the oldest of four siblings and my littlest sister had night terrors when she was in her toddler stage it would happen a lot like if we were on family road trips and stuff and she would just not stop hysterically screaming and crying so I know exactly what you’re talking about. I remember the doctor had shared with me and our family to try to not wake her up when she’s in the middle of the night terror from my memory.
praying for you and your family. Thanks for your videos it brings a smile on my face. ❤
Definitely read her a book with lots of pictures so she remembers pretty/happy/fun pics as she is going to sleep. This is all very normal but definitely hard to go through. I would ask her pediatrician for any advice my kids are now 23 & 15 so I’ve been through it 😊
LUCK and prayers 🙏🏻
Hi Abby, my daughter is now 2.5 years old. Close to her second birthday she started having the same experience, every other night and I just couldn’t handle the sleepless nights anymore and I couldn’t figure out why the things she used to love suddenly made her so terrified, especially her usual comfort toys at night she would say “take away, I don’t like it,” screaming and crying till I did so.
I started going through scenarios trying to figure it out and took to my laptop, which obviously called for some screen time so that I could keep an eye on her and then it hit me. She was watching a video about Halloween and monsters in the dark and the little kids were screaming and being portrayed as so afraid of the dark and the once cute toys were monsters, saying they are so scared, a phrase she frequently used. Keeping in mind this was a common show, think it was Gecko’s Garage and even your mainstream shows like cocomelon have similar “triggering” episodes for them. I’ve since changed the UA-cam settings so that I have to authorize content for her to watch, she can’t just mindlessly have access to all the videos.
Her nightmares and sudden blights of terror have stopped and things have gotten better. We obviously are also not mentioning the words “afraid of the dark” or “feeling scared” to her until she recovers from this.
I hope this possibly helps in some way ❤️.
I noticed the same thing happened with my 4 year old. He would close his eyes or run away when a Halloween video on UA-cam kids shows up. He would cry too at times. I believe certain videos are quite scary for them. My eldest son was terrified by Baby big mouth when he was little. My youngest would cry when there's Halloween kids' music videos. 😢
This is so swwwweeet❤❤❤
Night terrors, two of my littles went through this and turns out it was anxiety induced. The anxiety of going to bed and being without mommy/daddy all that can absolutely mess with babies sleep😢 sleep regression is also super real, I’m not sure if that’s common with children who aren’t adhd/autistic as both my sons are & that’s where my experience is from but that was also something that happened with us. I found out answer was cosleeping them so they wasn’t alone & for my oldest, he’s takes an anxiety med at bedtime which helps him sleep & stay asleep (he’s 12 now though). Melatonin comes in handy if your dr approves. It helps them rest vs waking up at every noise & staying up which is what mine would do. It was rough as I’m a single momma, the youngest is 4 and the only time his sleep is off is like now during summer when the big kids aren’t on a set schedule so if their up late so is he. I don’t need parented about bedtimes I promise I remember how enjoyable my summers was without school bedtimes & I want my kids to have that joy too, it’s not killing me (though some days it feels that way due to my insomnia outside of kids) anyways it’ll get better momma, just be her comfort blanket and make bedtime a fun thing or “special” for a bit while she’s going through this. Definitely speak to her pediatrician, we’ve all been here though❤ bless poppy’s heart I’ll be praying for you all🫶
We struggled so hard with our 2 year olds sleep! It ended up being that we had to drop her nap. Give it a try ❤️ our daughter would fight going to bed (would do anything to not go to sleep, claim she is scared of the dark, claim she was hurt and needed bandaids etc. etc.). As soon as we cut out her nap she started sleeping like an angel 😍
Agree on this. When they don't nap, they will usually sleep easily at night. My 4 year old would nap at his childcare centre, and he refused to sleep at night. 😢
I actually have a vivid memory of experiencing this at 5! I had a lion King blanket and I thought I saw the characters moving. I know now I must have been dreaming but it was so scary.
Ok, the hats are actually really cute. I would buy one. I really like the vintage yellow color with the red patch, I can see my entire family loving it and stealing it from me. If you end up selling them you can count on me for an order hahaha
You guys should do something about the decor of her room. Make it pretty and cozy. The way the room looks right now could be the problem. All the best to you guys!
Such a good mama ❤
As a child and older kid probably until I was 12ish I had horrible night terrors where I would have my eyes wide open screaming at things obviously no one else could see. My parents legitimately thought I was demon possessed and my mum even slapped me on the face as she genuinely was so scared and tried to snap me out of it. It took us so long so figure out why I was having these horrible vivid episodes and eventually we nailed it down to over heating. We changed the duvet to just a sheet and put a fan in my room and from that day forward I never had them ever again. I’m now 25 years old and still remember those reoccurring dreams I had as a child. Night terrors are no joke so I always share what helped me get passed them. Hope poppy is sleeping well in her new sheets x
Also put salt around her bed or if you dont want there in the 4 corners of her room to absorb negative energy and after some days sweep it and put again
When my son was 2 and I had his little brother I had them share a room immediately. He never woke up for night feedings, crying, diaper changes, nothing! I was shocked. He always loved the comfort of someone there with him. I slept with both of them until my second son turned 2 and neither of them ever had an issue. I was always afraid of the dark as a kid but I also shared a room with my younger brother and I felt more secure.
My Daughter had night terrors for nearly a Year. Her baby Brother was a newborn, didn't sleep , colic, sheer hell.
So we switched our sleep pattern slept during the day, awake at night. It worked for a couple of months and we got through it. I gave my toddler a massage, read a small book, and then I would listen to her tell me a story. Found what works for others, great, we just did our own thing !
Promise you it's hard now, you will get through it.
My had also experience that but very minimal… now she likes cuddles, sleeping beside us… Also bought her soothing sleeping oils that can help her calm during night. White noise also helps and give attention also to what she watches in the television…❤
I work with a celebrity intuitive healer out in Vegas, all you guys need is a good old-fashioned energy healing :) from the ages of 0-7, kids are mainly affected by whatever emotions or unhealed traumas are within the parents, so if you have anxiety, your kid has anxiety, for example. You guys are bright lights and good hearted people :) I'd explore breathwork, grounding, spending time around water, nature, etc. I can see energy if you will, anxiety is a result of not knowing how to ground ourselves into us, into "you." idk why just felt like sharing!!! Sorry for the unsolicited advice, lol...
Definitely a phase
My 5 and 3 year old both did it . They are unconsolible when it happens.
Just usually go in say they are fine and all good and let that be it. Hope they continue to get better sleep.
Maybe this will help
Try some breathing exercises like anuloma veloma as a night time routine. When we breath consciousness then we are balanced -
Do some exercise that will ground herself like massage her own feet, so she gets with her focus away from spinning in her head and more into her body.
And maybe instead of reading a bedtime story try and let her tell you about the day and all that happened and what she remembers, so she processes all before sleep and not in her sleep.
I guess it is much to process for her, a new baby brother, a new family dynamic you guys moving. For a toddler and a baby it's a lot. Good luck ❤ and @poot you are always stronger than your nightmares
I used to have nightmares of something choking me every time I go to sleep and my toddler also sometimes used to cry during her sleep. Until I started playing the Quran( especially surah al baqarah )throughout our sleep, I haven’t experienced nightmares ever since! It won’t hurt to try. It might work for you guys too!
My son had this too. The doctor told me its confusional arrousal disorder. Its like nightterrors but then with younger kids. It lasted a couple of months. It was a terrible time for us all. Sometimes we tried to wake him up a little before the first “attack” began. So he started a new sleepcycle and that was helpful. Good luck!! 😘
My son's pediatrician said the same thing about waking them a little right before they start. Also, they don't remember the nightterror in the morning, it's more traumatic for the parents to witness.
Playing the Azan ( the Islamic call to pray) really hepled my son.
When my daughter was in this phase, I had just read an article about seeing things in their room. We ended up literally chasing the scary things from her room with a broom and out the open front door. We then slammed the front door after we chased it out. Hope you get suggestions that you can use.
Praying for you guys
My middle daughter started having night terrors when she was around 2. It's like they don't hear you or see you and they scream like they are terrified for an hour or more! I figured out that these tended to occur more when she was over tired. I started making sure she didn't get so over tired and over stimulated and that really seemed to help. I would say the night terrors stopped by the time she was 4 but until then I had to really monitor her being over stimulated and over tired. Hope this helps! ❤
My son has the exact same thing some nights . Hasn’t had an episode in a while .. but he’ll wake up crying but he won’t be fully awake and I have to get him to fully wake up he’s stuck in a certain point of sleep and will take hours to calm him down .. maybe look for those symptoms with poot ! See if she’s actually awake or is she acts lethargic . Cause my son all of a sudden just stops also and will wake up fully then fall back asleep good luck ❤
I has those when I was younger. It was the beginning of an anxiety disorder for me. I would talk to your doctor for sure!
Oh no! I’m praying for you 🙏
Have you listened to any music with bad stuff in like. Like Body Shop by sam.smith is it? Bad music can open demonic activity JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE. Oh! Did you watch ANY horror or thriller movies this week????
I feel so bad for he xx hopefully she is happy with her new bed and unicorn! Best wishes in the future hope she doesn’t get a night terror again!😊😊❤❤
Be sure her room not too warm. Also sometimes a full belly makes for dreams. I also used to spray “scary spray be gone” before bedtime. Under bed. Closets. Fan. Lol. It was water in an old spray bottle. But it worked.
I’m so sorry. I struggled with night terrors as a kid, it helped when my parents would cuddle with me or lay with me until I got really tired. I also recommend melatonin, that is a game changer if you want her to stay asleep. Playing white or brown noise throughout the night helps too!
I’m not so sure about the melatonin it can cause babies to fall into deeper sleeps and can cause even worse nightmares. We did a couple of times and she was having very bad dreams and never touched again.
My daughter had night terrors from 18 months old till 2 and a half. We changed her bedtime routine. No tv hour before bed. No juice for bed just water. Take all the distractions out of the room . Make sure she isn't overly tired. But wear her out during the day. Keep a normal routine putting her to sleep and waking her up. And the same nap time everyday.
I hope poot has no more bad dreams and you and poot sleeps better and sleeps threw the whole night
I never comment, but I just need to tell you about this sleep book that changed my life and others that have kids. It’s called The Sleep Book by Dana Oblemen. She has UA-cam videos too!
for nightmares I recommend doTERRA Juniper Berry and Wild Orange essential oil in a diffuser plus Lavender oil dilluted on the feet.
Hi Abby- So my son when he was 2 1/2 starting having night terrors as well. it was horrible. Make sure you wake her up all the way and she acknowledges seeing you. So my son, I asked him after about 7 months of this if he saw something or sees something, and he said yes and pointed to the wall. I asked what he sees and he said a little boy with a hat. Sooo, yes little ones can see ghosts. I know this is out there, but yes it does happen. so we talked about him when he woke up and I asked him what the boy wore and if he was hurt etc... And after talking with my son for a couple nights, he still woke up but it wasn't as bad. needless to say after about a year, he finally was able to be fine and sleep through the night. we did get him a sound machine and that really helped too. I know it's out there but talk to her and make sure you wake her up all the way when she has these. Take Care, Wendy.
People have been commenting on putting on christian or muslim prayers being recited. I would try it. Not everything is visible to our eyes.
Pray over her and over her room and bed. Every night before she goes to sleep .
All cultures are different..our kids stayed in our bed till 4..it really helps with all of this hiccups ...plus u get a good nights rest
Poor baby!! My son went through this for a short while. I read to try to but them to bed 20-30 mins earlier then their normal bed time. And it did seem to help when we did this.
My mom use to rub me with an egg, it’s usually done in Hispanic households I believe. But basically you get an egg from the fridge let it sit out for 5 minutes so that it’s not to cold. Have poot either stand or sit on your lap. Rub her from head to praying our father. All motion going down. In a cup, preferably mason jar fill it up half way with room temp water. When you are done rubbing her crack the in the jar and cover it with foil or put a lid over it. This helped me when I was younger and still does now. This is also referred to as el ojo malo, evil eye. Hope this helps.
My 4 year old did t sleep until 2.7 yrs old. When she turned 3, she got nightmares. It was horrible. We are 4 in 1 week and she still is scared.
Their imagination develops, but stick to turning on lights if it helps, sitting with kiddo, night lights, coming up with special blanket that will “protect” the kiddo. Magic it helps a bit
My daughter with autism used to do this around 2 years old. It’ll get better. Baths in the middle of the night always helped her
My daughter started doing this.
Pay attention to if she does it when she has a fever! My daughter only does it when she spikes a fever. Its very scary and she never remembers anything about it in the morning. Even though she was fully "Awake". Atleast it looked like it to us.
There are various reasons why toddlers experience nightmares. It's essential to seek help from your pediatrician for guidance. Hang in there, and I hope things improve soon! 💕💕💕
I Hope for the best!
If the night terrors continue, hope they don't, but as a Sleep Tech we have had parents try this method and it has worked. See what time the terrors are happening if its always around 1a, quietly go in her room and gently wake her up at 1245. This will kick her out of her deep sleep and let's her start her sleep cycle over. Do this for 2 weeks in a row. Hope this helps!
Well night terrors can often start with big changes. Moving, hormones, change in family dynamic (new sibling), or it could be cause by environment...music, tv shows/movies, etc.
i love Herbert name and would buy the hat!!!! i want it
Highly recommend trying vitamin d drops. My daughter is 2 ½ and just started having the same problem with the animals in her room. I gave her one drop of vitamin d before and it seemed to help, You can give her a drop before bed. Don't give her too much because it'll keep her up. I just use the infant drops the pediatrician recommends for infants. Definitely worth trying.
Omg I love you channel soo soo much and you family we all love you soo much im also so sorry❤❤❤
My daughter had night terrors. If she remembers them it’s nightmares if she doesn’t it’s a terror. She would just sit up and scream and cry and you think she was awake but she wasn’t. Do not wake them up. We realized if she was overly tired they would trigger. I would lay down with her and play lullaby’s and it helped calm her down to sleep peacefully again. Poppy is about the age they started with my daughter. I also use a saying. You can say it only twice a night and I used it as a kid and my daughter uses it now. Bad dreams bad dreams go away good dreams good dreams stay. It’s mentally relaxes the child to desires a and feel that they will be safe while sleeping.
Oh no.. poor baby. Maybe you guys can try to talk to her or perhaps see a doctor to discuss your concerns. My eldest son only started getting scared when he's 8. He was playing a lot of Roblox, and he suddenly became frightened. I told him to stop playing for a while and explained to him about ghosts and all. I taught him to recite some prayers and to seek protection from Almighty and told him that humans are more superior than any entities. I just kept reminding him the same thing every time he gets scared, and he is slowly getting better. I also bought melatonin for kids to make them rest well at night since he have school on weekdays, and I don't want him to get tired at school. He slept well throughout the night, and I don't get complaints from his teachers, saying he fell asleep in class. Or maybe you wait for her to fall asleep and then leave the room. Or maybe just co-sleep with her for the time being. I'm not sure, but co-sleep doesn't help me with my 8 year old. He still gets scared even if I'm in the same room. I had to tell him that I would chase the ghost away because it didn't pay any rent to live at my house. 😅
I really hope her night mates go away and I hope you guys get as much sleep as possible. You guys are amazing parents to Poot and Jagger
I have 1 year old triplets and one of my boys is constantly having night terrors, is every night but it last 5-10 minutes. Afterwards is like nothing happened. We don’t know what to do at this point we have change schedules, meals before bed, sheets everything. Nothing works, Doctor said he might outgrow it.
Get her a starlight bear I think it is called ….. she pushes the belly and pretty lights show up on the ceiling …. My daughter loves it !
I think it might be her bed…the way it comes up on the sides, possibly? Maybe you should try a regular bed…I remember the way she looked at it the first time she saw it, in the video where Josh put it together. She wasn’t excited about it, and kind of gave it a quick side-eye glance and changed the subject!
Aww I hope she gets better
Poor poot I hope her nightmares go away pretty soon. And Josh you should sell them I would by one or two haha
I will most definitely take a HERBERT Hat Josh.
luvv u Abby and josh😭
We dealt with night terrors when my oldest was 2. It lasted about 3-4 months. This was 12-13 years ago. Not sure if there is a fix.
I am so sorry poor Poppy(and you guys) are going through that. My daughter is the same age as Poppy (in fact they have the same birthday!) and she’s been having them too. Last night she woke up screaming and crying and it took awhile for her to calm down she didn’t even want me to touch her. I talked to her pediatrician and there isn’t much he said I can do. But it’s worth bringing it up to her doctor to see if they have any ideas! Sending love 💜
My brother sleep talks and has his eyes open at the same time! It might be that she looks awake but she is actually asleep stuck in her dream hearing you talk to her. It’s very creepy and scary for toddlers and kids cause it’s really realistic when they’re in the dream and hear they’re close family nearby❤ hope this helps and try asking her what she sees to make sure she’s awake or not😢 good luck with poppy/poot💗💗
